The canonical reference for ioctl is 
<http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/ioctl.html> 
[registration required].

That does not cover SIOCGIFCONF and SIOGIFADDR, as those appear to be 
extensions, perhaps Solaris-specific.

For Linux, the best documentation is probably man 2 ioctl, man 2 ioctl_list, 
and the glibc and/or kernel source.  For the other Debian libcs/kernels, I 
do not know.
