ENOTTY d is not associated with a character special
device.
ENOTTY The specified request does not apply to the kind of
object that the descriptor d references.
Lots and lots of ioctls return ENOTTY when passed a request
which they don't understand. There's probably a great reason
for this, but I can't immediately think what it might be.
