No, that would be gethostbyaddr().  getpeername() is a system call
that looks for the address of the other side (the remove side) of an
association or socket pair.

Of course, if you're using connectionless sockets (i.e. datagrams),
then it won't return an endpoint...  For that, you'd have to use
recvfrom() and note the endpoint from individual requests.
