Hi,

Again for the libc, I need an ioctl option which allows me to query
the mode of a descriptor which was used in open. I.e.,

int fd, mode;
fd = open ("foo", O_RDONLY);
ioctl (fd, FIGMODE, &mode);

would fill `mode' with O_RDONLY etc. This should be pretty easy to add.
(If something like this is already available please educate me.)

Thanks,
