Is there a reason why there is no ioctl interface for socket either

I don't completely understand your question. On Windows, you can use
socket.ioctl with sockets, and DeviceIoControl (from the pywin32
package)
with other files. On Linux, you have fcntl.ioctl that works with any
kind
of file.
Ok, thanks a lot, my question was because I didn't know about
fcntl.ioct, I thought that ioctl wrapping was implemented inside
socketmodule.c as 'bind', 'connect', 'accept' etc. are, and I was
disoriented because no documentation for socket usage on Linux nor the
code have references about ioctl, except for windows.
I see; socket.ioctl should menction fcntl.ioctl; I'll submit a
documentation patch.
