I'm not on the list, so please respond directly to me.
I am trying to figure out how to get a destination IP address from a socket that has been passed to me by another program. According to what I have been able to find out to date, the source IP address is easy to get, but the destination isn't available except through some fairly obscure set of system calls. No direct call seems to be available, but lsof seems to be able to generate this information by looking through the kernel structures. Does anybody out there have the code to do this - preferably a few simple system calls - alternatively a very short C program - last alternative a hairy complex beast...
