Anyone used ioctl?

I tied using ioctl on a socket in my project. It compiles, but can't find the symbol on the link. I searched the examples directory to see if any example uses ioctl, but no. So I replaced ioctl with lwip_ioctl_r and it compiles/links. Not sure if this is the right function. And not sure why ioctl isn't found.

Looking at the man page for ioctl() found here:

http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/ioctl.2.html

It requires a #include <sys/ioctl.h>

This seems to be resolved in ESP-IDF from this file:

Yes, I have that include, which is probably why it compiles without a complaint. Unfortunately the linker is telling me it's not in the libs.

Are you including this file from a C++ source file, by chance? I see that the header file is missing exern C guards, which would cause linker issue as you describe. Try wrapping the include directive with an extern "C" block as a workaround.

Just tried it and that didn't help. But I tried declaring the function itself as extern "C" and then it showed up as a conflicting definition in lwipopts.h, and I found another include was including that first that I should have wrapped with an extern "C". Whew! Thanks.
