To make things even worse, TC/BC prototype int ioctl(int, int, ...) AIX says in the man page int ioctl(int, int, void *) and in a header file long ioctl(int, int, void *) HP-UX say the same as TC/BC, DJGPP says nothing. I think I'd better say nothing, too. -- Ciao Tom ************************************************************* * Thomas Demmer * * Lehrstuhl fuer Stroemungsmechanik * * Ruhr-Uni-Bochum * * Universitaetsstr. 150 * * D-44780 Bochum * * Tel: +49 234 700 6434 * * Fax: +49 234 709 4162 * * http://www.lstm.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/~demmer * *************************************************************
