The ioctl and fcntl(SYSV) system calls differ significantly between
SYSV and bsd and between different versions. This makes writing portable
code rather difficult.  Anyone who has ported an editor from one Unix
system to another encounters problems with different ioctl usage.

The structure you require,  'struct sgttyb' is defined under SUNOS in
/usr/include/sys/ttold.h. You will probably need 'struct tchars'
from this header also.
