Is there some reason why there is a discrepancy in the definition of 
ioctl()?

From man page ioctl(2)

 	SYNOPSIS
 	     #include <sys/ioctl.h>

 	     int
 	     ioctl(int d, unsigned long request, void *argp);


Yet, from sys/ioctl.h we have

 	__BEGIN_DECLS
 	int     ioctl(int, unsigned long, ...);
 	__END_DECLS
