One problem about ioctl during porting from Solaris to Linux

This looks like code for managing a pseudo-terminal. My first guess would be that the very bad idea of supplying the file descriptor as a constant in your ioctl call has come back to bite you as you port the code. Any additional or fewer opens of file descriptors prior to creating the pseudo terminal will break your code. Assign the return from the open of the pseudo terminal to a variable and supply that variable to your ioctl call.

Worse than that, I_PUSH is a STREAMS module push. Linux does not use STREAMS and hence the existance of LiS

There have been several responses in: comp.os.linux.development.system
