I notice that in my ioctl.h file (in /usr/include/sys) that the
definition for TIOCNOTTY is ifdef'ed out.  Anybody know why?

I've built code, specifically the kip code for managing an
Appletalk network, that requires TIOCNOTTY by simply removing
the conditional ifdef, thus, making TIOCNOTTY defined.  Everything
works.  But I have to admit, I don't understand what's going
on here.   Any light that can be shed on this issue would be
most appreciated.

Thanks,
