I am trying to clean up the last of the 386 SysV issues for
emacs-18.56. The most nettlesome issue has to do with <sys/sioctl.h>.
Some systems have it, some don't, and confusion is universal...
emacs needs the "struct winsize" declaration. On my system there's
one in <sys/ptem.h> and <sys/sioctl.h>.
Questions:
1. Which systems have <sys/sioctl.h>? Does SCO? Esix? AT&T? Is it
unique to TCP/IP on ISC, or is it always present? Do all modern
versions of ISC have it?
2. Do the same systems have <sys/ptem.h>? Is <sys/ptem.h> prefered to
<sys/sioctl.h>? What kind of 386 SysV won't have <sys/ptem.h>?
Any historical information that will let me decide what the right
thing to do is would be most helpful...
