Or use openat().
(Getting the directory fd open with the correct permissions is left
as an exercise to the application by the writers of the standard.
You really need O_RDONLY | O_EXEC, but I think that is illegal and
linux may not allow O_EXEC for directories.
It ought to be possible to open a directory in a manner that excludes
the 'search' permissions needed for openat().)
