> Is function C_Ioctl in package Gnat.Sockets.Thin equivalent to C's ioctl?

(a) it looks like the sort of ioctl you use to get a value (rather
than set it).

I think ioctl is better modelled as a pair of generics (in the type of
the third parameter). You do need a little code in the body, of course
..

(b) not sure you're supposed to be calling the .Thin package ..
