ruby-progressbar could use ioctl support on output devices
----------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JRUBY-4493
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-4493
             Project: JRuby
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Extensions
    Affects Versions: JRuby 1.4
         Environment: Gentoo Linux, JRuby 1.4.0
            Reporter: Diego Elio Pettenò
            Priority: Trivial


  def get_width
    # FIXME: I don't know how portable it is.
    default_width = 80
    begin
      tiocgwinsz = 0x5413
      data = [0, 0, 0, 0].pack("SSSS")
      if @out.ioctl(tiocgwinsz, data) >= 0 then
        rows, cols, xpixels, ypixels = data.unpack("SSSS")
        if cols >= 0 then cols else default_width end
      else
        default_width
      end
    rescue Exception
      default_width
    end
  end

This code is part of ruby-postgres (http://github.com/nex3/ruby-progressbar)... 
while not strictly needed, I guess it's good to know that it would be used if 
present ;)

HTH!
