The man page for termio on our Suns is missing the names of the ioctls.
It describes the paramaters and function of each but does not give the 
name (a fairly important bit of information):

         TERMIO(4)         UNIX System V (22 March 1989)         TERMIO(4)
    
         NAME
              termio - general terminal interface
    
    (lines deleted)
    
    IOCTLS
              The ioctl() calls supported by devices and STREAMS modules
              providing the termios interface are listed below.  Some
              calls may not be supported by all devices or modules.
    
    (lines deleted)
    
              The argument is a pointer to a
                             termios structure.  The current terminal
                             parameters are fetched and stored into that
                             structure.  This call is allowed from a
                             background process; however, the information
                             may subsequently be changed by a foreground
                             process.
    
              The argument is a pointer to a
                             termios structure.  The current terminal
                             parameters are set from the values stored in
                             that structure.  The change is immediate.
    
              The argument is a pointer to a
                             termios structure.  The current terminal
    
   
Note the names of the ioctls are missing. Is this a generic problem with
Sun OS or do we have outdated man pages?

If someone would mail me either a copy of this portion of the man page from
a version of Sun OS which has the information or from a compatible system
I would greatly appreciate it.

In general I have noted a number of similar problems in other Sun man
pages. Has anyone else seen the same thing?
