Usually comments in <sys/ioctl.h> may help :-). In fact that depends a lot
on the OS, there is no standard way for documenting those ioctl since they
are often OS or subsystem specific. But you can try to look at manual pages
(or info on AIX) like ioctl, inet, ip, tcp and specific devices etc.
A good source of information is also the FAQ (socket programming, TCP/IP and
RAW IP FAQs for instance). When you are really stuck, you can search the
WEB...
