I hardly consider ioctl to be a good example.. in fact IMHO it's a BAD
example.
man page for RH6.2 (my copy of RH7.1 has no man pages for section 2 for
some reason..)

CONFORMING TO
No single standard. Arguments, returns, and semantics of
ioctl(2) vary according to the device driver in question
(the call is used as a catch-all for operations that don't
cleanly fit the Unix stream I/O model). See ioctl_list(2)
for a list of many of the known ioctl calls. The ioctl
function call appeared in Version 7 AT&T Unix.
