NAME
       ioctl - control device

SYNOPSIS
       #include <sys/ioctl.h>

       int ioctl(int d, int request, ...);

DESCRIPTION
The ioctl() function manipulates the underlying device parameters of
special files.  In particular, many operating characteristics of
character special files (e.g., terminals) may be controlled with
ioctl() requests.
