Cite from man fcntl:
 F_SETFL
Set  the  file  status  flags  to  the  value  specified  by arg.  File access mode (O_RDONLY, O_WRONLY, O_RDWR) and file creation flags (i.e., O_CREAT, O_EXCL,O_NOCTTY, O_TRUNC) in arg are ignored.  On Linux this command can only change the O_APPEND, O_ASYNC, O_DIRECT, O_NOATIME, and O_NONBLOCK flags.
