Dedy,

ioctl() is a specific syscall.

So, in general syscalls are documented in section 2 of the linux manuals.

If you do man ioctl, you should see it provides the page from section 2.

If you want to see the implementation of a syscall, then look in the
userspace glibc source.

I'm not sure that helps, but maybe it will help you write a more
specific question.

Greg
