+Ext4 implements various ioctls which can be used by applications to access
+ext4-specific functionality. An incomplete list of these ioctls is shown in the
+table below. This list includes truly ext4-specific ioctls (``EXT4_IOC_*``) as
+well as ioctls that may have been ext4-specific originally but are now supported
+by some other filesystem(s) too (``FS_IOC_*``).
