>Description:
Quoting manual page, "Some generic ioctls are not implemented
for all types of file descriptors. These include..."
It isn't clear from the manual page itself and referenced pages:
a) which distinct type of file descriptors exist;
b) which generic ioctl commands apply to which type of descriptors;
c) where to search for other non-generic commands, if needed.
>How-To-Repeat:
Read the manual page.
>Fix:
Expand manual page, provide more references.
