Returns the peer's IP in dotted notation, or empty string if invalid (String).
Technical Exegesis...
Retrieves the IP address of the connected peer (remote endpoint) for the specified TCP stream. Returns the IP in dotted notation (e.g., "192.168.1.100"), or an empty string if the handle is invalid or getpeername fails.
Uses getpeername to query the peer address and inet_ntoa to convert to string. For client connections (netOpenTCPStream), returns the server's IP. For accepted connections (netAcceptTCPStream), returns the client's IP. Useful for logging connections or implementing IP-based filtering.
