This module performs file control and IO control on file descriptors.
It is an interface to the \dfn{fcntl()} and \dfn{ioctl()} \UNIX routines.
This module performs file control and I/O control on file descriptors.
It is an interface to the \dfn{fcntl()} and \dfn{ioctl()} \UNIX{} routines.
File descriptors can be obtained with the \dfn{fileno()} method of a
file or socket object.

the argument missing or an integer value, the return value of this
function is the integer return value of the real \code{fcntl()}
call. When the argument is a string it represents a binary
structure, e.g. created by \code{struct.pack()}. The binary data is
structure, e.g.\ created by \code{struct.pack()}. The binary data is
copied to a buffer whose address is passed to the real \code{fcntl()}
call. The return value after a successful call is the contents of
the buffer, converted to a string object. In the case the

\code{fcntl()} fails, an \code{IOError} will be raised.
