Re: getting the local port on a socket

I now change my question to 
"why doesent getsockname work unless I call bind?  Does this mean, unless I call bind I cannot get the port the system will use to xmit the packet?"

getting the local port on a socket

[Lee Chin]

Hi 
How can I get the local port on a socket I just created?  I do not want to bind this client socket to any port... I just want to know what port the system (kernel) will use when it sends packets out on this socket

Thanks
Lee
