I struggled with that one a lot back in the busybox days. in theory you can put all usage of the structure in a separate translation unit where you don't include any libc headers. (if you need libc api you can declare prototypes e.g. int ioctl(int, int,...); but if you need libc types there then you are in trouble). > (For the 64 bit version you can block copy the structure out of the > header into your program, just like you can block copy everything out of > headers and never actually #include anything, in the name of portability!) > > Sadly, the kernel headers are exported for a _reason_.
