    Where does the name 'ioctlsocket' come from?

    Does anyone know?
    It's always good to know the origin of the name - it helps one to memorize the function better and the function name becomes more logical.

    Thanks in advance.

    7. It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
    40. There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.*
