Description
**Version of emscripten/emsdk:**
```
5.0.6
```
POSIX: `write()` on a file descriptor opened `O_RDONLY` should return `-1`. It seems that the default JS-FS does this correctly; but under WASMFS (`-sWASMFS=1`) the write succeeds.
**Failing command line in full:**
```
$ emcc -O0 -Wall -sWASMFS=1 write_rdonly.c -o a.out.js
$ node a.out.js
write(RDONLY fd): ret=1 errno=0
```
The same program on native Linux prints `write(RDONLY fd): ret=-1 errno=9`.
**Example code snippet:**
```c
#include
#include
#include
#include
#include
int main(void) {
mkdir("/tmp/xsv_test", 0755);
int fd = open("/tmp/xsv_test/f.txt", O_WRONLY | O_CREAT | O_TRUNC, 0644);
write(fd, "x", 1); close(fd);
fd = open("/tmp/xsv_test/f.txt", O_RDONLY);
errno = 0;
ssize_t r = write(fd, "y", 1);
printf("write(RDONLY fd): ret=%zd errno=%d\n", r, errno);
close(fd);
return (r < 0) ? 0 : 1;
}
```
