I don't really like

a) first/next interfaces (see the FGETOPENS for a different approach) and

b) inventing new opcodes.

I would rather propose to define D/Fcntl opcodes. They could be implemented
on

a) the process file (which would only work under MiNT or

b) the SLB file (not very elegant though).
