How about /usr/include/sys/socket.h (for starters). If you can actually find all the member names by following all the included-includes, you probably get some kind of prize. Note that the __SOCKADDR_ALLTYPES macro is absolutely amazing. It's possible to have the pre-processor hide everything, making trouble-shooting pure art!
