Without further ado, the following was found:

Issue:    What is fildes?

It seems a weird way of saying file descriptor.  I'll change it to fd.

Also present in close(2), where it's a bug, because nothing else calls
it 'fildes':

	$ grep -rn \\bfildes\\b
	man2/close.2:219:.I fildes
	man2/ioctl.2:102:.BI "ioctl(int " fildes ", int " op ", struct sgttyb *" argp );
	man2/ioctl.2:139:.BI "int ioctl(int " fildes ", int " op ", ... /* " arg " */);"


Cheers,
Alex
