:mod:`fcntl` --- The :func:`fcntl` and :func:`ioctl` system calls
=================================================================
@ -65,13 +64,13 @@ The module defines the following functions:
so long as the buffer you pass is as least as long as what the operating system
wants to put there, things should work.
If *mutate_flag* is true (the default), then the buffer is (in effect) passed to the
underlying :func:`ioctl` system call, the latter's return code is passed back to
the calling Python, and the buffer's new contents reflect the action of the
:func:`ioctl`. This is a slight simplification, because if the supplied buffer
is less than 1024 bytes long it is first copied into a static buffer 1024 bytes
long which is then passed to :func:`ioctl` and copied back into the supplied
buffer.
