+typedef enum {
+  CURLIOE_OK,            /* I/O operation successful */
+  CURLIOE_UNKNOWNCMD,    /* command was unknown to callback */

+  CURLIOCMD_RESTARTREAD, /* restart the read stream from start */
+  CURLIOCMD_LAST         /* never use */
+} curliocmd;
+
+curlioerr ioctl_callback(CURL *handle, int cmd, void *clientp);
+
+CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_IOCTLFUNCTION, ioctl_callback);
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Pass a pointer to your callback function, which should match the prototype
+shown above.
+
+This callback function gets called by libcurl when something special
+I/O-related needs to be done that the library can't do by itself. For now,
+rewinding the read data stream is the only action it can request. The
+rewinding of the read data stream may be necessary when doing a HTTP PUT or
+POST with a multi-pass authentication method.
+
+The callback MUST return \fICURLIOE_UNKNOWNCMD\fP if the input \fIcmd\fP is
+not \fICURLIOCMD_RESTARTREAD\fP.
+
+The \fIclientp\fP argument to the callback is set with the
+\fUICURLOPT_IOCTLDATA(3)\fP option.
+
+This option is deprecated! Do not use it. Use \fICURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION(3)\fP
+instead to provide seeking! If \fICURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION(3)\fP is set, this
+parameter will be ignored when seeking.
+.SH DEFAULT
+By default, this parameter is set to NULL. Not used.
+.SH PROTOCOLS
+Used with HTTP
+.SH EXAMPLE
+TODO
+.SH AVAILABILITY
+Added in 7.12.3
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
