Because of the comment at I_SETSIG (*STREAM*), I guess it can be

just with streams but not with sockets.
Yes, but these come from SYSV where sockets are just another stream.
The headers also support SIGPOLL so I am not sure why these ioctl's
aren't also supported.
You can read in the SIGIO description, the prefered way to generate
the signal is setting asynchronous mode with 'fcntl'
Question. Are these ioctls lists coming from glibc or are they
indirectly from the kernel includes? There is a stream implementation
for Linux, maybe these ioctl's are there in the headers to have them
reserved?
