remote peer connected to standard input.
The IP address and the service name are printed on the same line,
separated by one space.
OPTIONS
- -n
-
Don't translate IP addresses and port numbers to names.
- -p protocol
-

translating port numbers to service names.

Normally, getpeername automatically determines what type of
socket it is connected to.
