--- Comment #1 from Konstantin Belousov <kib@FreeBSD.org> ---
The man page references the header that needs to be included into C source to
get the definition.  All _XXX.h headers are internal and not supposed to be
included directly.  Typically they are introduced to split larger header and
allow some definition to appear in multiple top-level headers without code
duplication.

That said, the change that could improve the man page is to say that the
structure
definition is made available by inclusion of sys/ioctl.h, instead of it being
defined in the header.
