Trying to convert this code we have is really starting to look pretty dismal.
We seem to have fixed up the AF_UNIX problem with sockets, but are now stuck
on several ioctl calls.  We need to make a call similar to the BSD FIONREAD
which returns the number of characters in the input buffer of the given file
descriptor.  Unfortunately, according to the HP/UX docs (in parenthesized fine
print at the end of the termio section, I might add) this call is not available.
Would anyone know of a work-around for this or is it time to punt?
