There are two functions you want.
getpeername - get name of connected peer
this gives you a sockaddr structure with the details of the otherend
and
getsockname - get socket name
this gives you a sockaddr structure with the details of this end
useful if you're doing evil things like transperant proxying
and you want to see what ip they where actually trying to connect to.
