getpeername vs sys$getdvi?

» close window

The Question is:

 
OK, You got me!  How does $GETDVI relate
to getpeername()?  How do you do it?
Would you mind giving me an example?
 
Thanks a bunch,

The Answer is :

 
  These calls are not particularly related.
 
  As has been mentioned elsewhere, terse questions beget terse answers.
  When asking these sorts of questions, please consider including some
  general information on the particular problem(s) being solved.
 
  getpeername() is an IP call for acquiring information on the node
  on the far end of the connection in an IP network, while sys$getdvi
  is an OpenVMS system service used to retrieve information on devices
  visible to the local system.
 
  Example source code is available in various places, including on the
  Freeware CD-ROM and (for those with contract access) via DSNlink.
  Pointers are in the OpenVMS Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).
