The peerAddress() and peerPort() functions return the IP address and port used by the peer, and peerName() returns the name of the peer (normally the name that was passed to connectToHost()). socketDevice() returns a pointer to the QSocketDevice used for this socket. .PP -QSocket inherits QIODevice, and reimplements some functions.
