Greetings,

Please help me with the following :

Where can I find what means exactly and how to use each of the second
argument of the ioctl() system call in Linux : FIOxxx (file IOCTL
requests), SIOxxx (socket IOCTL requests), TCxxx TIOxxx (terminal
IOCTL requests) ?

I did not find yet anything useful on Internet about this topic.

Maybe a Linux programmer could help me.

Thanks,
Alexandru Goia.

The ioctls specific to a device are usually documented in the man page
for the device. So TIOxxx are in tty(4).
