On OSX the manpage says:

int ioctl(int fildes, unsigned long request, ...);

On linux (ubuntu) it says:

int ioctl(int d, int request, ...);

How'd this arise?

That man page (probably ioctl(3p)) is wrong, if you look at the actual /usr/include/sys/ioctl.h or /usr/include/stropts.h headers, or in the kernel source. man 2 ioctl is correct as well.

(It even has the standard "Linux implementation of this interface may differ" disclaimer up top!)

Fascinating! I'm losing trust in manpages quickly now!

@alexcrichton The man pages in section 2 and 3 can usually be trusted, but not section 3p (they're just the POSIX manuals imported directly). But I almost always skip them and go straight to the headers.
