On the subject of ioctls: what about a replacement syscall:
/** * Getting and setting file parameters safely (ioctl done right) * * @fd file descriptor * @param name of the parameter to get/set * @dir direction flag indicating either get, set, or set-get * @value value to set parameter to (set) or store current value into (get) * @size size of value */ int fparam(int fd, const char *param, int dir, void *value, size_t size);
I know it's been talked about in the past. Is anyone interested?
