15 * @brief Definitions & maros common to ioctl()
16 * @ingroup OpenBeOS_POSIX
18 * Ioctl values passed as the command (2nd) variable have the
19 * command encoded in the lower word and the size of any parameters
20 * in the upper word (in or out).
21 * The high 3 bits are used to encode whether it's in or out.
22 * Due to this you can't just give an ioctl value, you need to encode
23 * it using macros described in
