socket_local6(3)

💖 socket_local6(3) 💖

okay so bestie, this one lives in the Library Functions Manual and it's literally called socket_local6 — say hi 👋

✨ NAME ✨

socket_local6 — get local IP address of socket 🫶

🌸 SYNTAX 🌸

#include <libowfat/socket.h>

int socket_local6(int s,char ip[16],uint16 *port,uint32 *scope_id);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, socket_local6 returns the local IPv6 address, port and scope ID for the UDP or TCP socket s, and writes stuff out like the main character it is 💅:

• the IPv6 address goes to ip
• the port goes to port
• the scope ID goes to scope_id

and if scope_id is the null pointer? no stress, it just discards the scope ID entirely, like it never happened 🙈

but bestie, if something goes wrong, socket_local6 returns -1 and sets errno appropriately. so check it, fr fr. 😭

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

• socket_accept6(3)
• socket_remote6(3)

k bye ily, this was socket_local6(3) from the Library Functions Manual — that's the source and the whole vibe, go forth and slay ✨👑💜
