<function>socket_getpeername</function> should not be used with

Only sockets created with <function>socket_connect</function> or a primary
server socket following a call to <function>socket_bind</function> will return
meaningful values.

<para>
For having <function>socket_getpeername</function> to return a meaningful value,
the socket it is applied upon must of course be one for which the concept of
"peer" makes sense.
