tty_ioctl man page needs revision

Dear Sir or Madam,

the reason I am writing to you is that the man page of tty_ioctl (4) needs to be updated.

Some years ago, Al Viro along with Christoph Hellwig and Russell King have worked on cleaning the tty layer. During these changes some ioctls have been removed (such as TIOCMGET) and were replaced by their respective callback functions (tiocmget).

Despite this fact, the man page of tty_ioctl (4) has not been updated and still refers to these options as valid arguments for ioctl(). There is also an example included written in C, that's not working any more.

Since the man page of tty_ioctl doesn't mention any author, would you please be so kind as to redirect me or this message to someone that could make the update?

Thank you in advance,

Yours faithfully
Stathis K.
Student of Medicine,
