Is that actually possible? “fcntl (fd, F_GETFL) & O_WRONLY”
should do it?
So the answer is no as it's a kind of tri-state.
I think this should work (untested)?
r = fcntl (fd, F_GETFL);
if (r == -1) ...
r &= O_ACCMODE;
if (r == O_RDONLY)
h->can_write = false;
There's also the case where r == O_WRONLY which the plugin (and NBD)
cannot deal with. Not sure what to do about that - error?
