It should never be seen by apps. If it can be then it is wrong code.
Basically you use it in things like



int err = dev->ioctlfunc(dev, op, arg);
if( err != -ENOIOCTLCMD)
return err;

/* Driver specific code does not support this ioctl */

switch(op)
{

...
default:
return -ENOTTY;
}

Its a way of passing back 'you handle it'
