Under man 7 unix, it says: Ioctls The following ioctl(2) calls return information in value. The correct syntax is: int value; error = ioctl(tcp_socket, ioctl_type, &value); The last line should read: error = ioctl(unix_socket, ioctl_type, &value); I'm on Fedora 15, with Linux man-pages version 3.32. The date at the bottom of this page is 2010-11-15.
