Anyone using SocketPrim.getSocketName?

7 Dec 2000


      Is anyone using SocketPrimt.getSocketName?
I try to get the IP of a listening socket (on my side), but
I always get 0. It could be either my fault, SocketPrims fault
(the source is prefilling the buffer with 0!), or the
conversion-functions fault:
...
sAddr <- SocketPrim.getSocketName (s#socket)
  local <- case sAddr of
    (SocketPrim.SockAddrInet port host) -> do
    return (show (wordToWord32 host))
    _ -> net#getHostName -- XXX output a warning 
  print local
"host" is of type Word, so I need a way of getting it into a string.
host should be 4x8 bit and thus Word32 is the right thing to use?
