 * socket_SIOCGIFNAME() - resolve an ifindex to an ifname
 * @socket:                     socket to operate on
 * @ifindex:                    index of network interface to resolve
 * @ifname:                     buffer to store resolved name
 *
 * This uses the SIOCGIFNAME ioctl to resolve an ifindex to an ifname. The
 * buffer provided in @ifnamep must be at least IFNAMSIZ bytes in size. The
 * maximum ifname length is IFNAMSIZ-1, and this function always
 * zero-terminates the result.
 *
 * This function is similar to if_indextoname(3) provided by glibc, but it
 * allows to specify the target socket explicitly. This allows the caller to
 * control the target network-namespace, rather than relying on the network
 * namespace of the running process.
 *
 * Return: 0 on success, negative kernel error code on failure.
