ioctl(2) vs sys/ioctl.h



Is there some reason why there is a discrepancy in the definition of ioctl()?

From man page ioctl(2)

        SYNOPSIS
             #include <sys/ioctl.h>

             int
             ioctl(int d, unsigned long request, void *argp);


Yet, from sys/ioctl.h we have

        __BEGIN_DECLS
        int     ioctl(int, unsigned long, ...);
        __END_DECLS
