MY bad!!!
I was trying to open "/dev/cdrom/" and not "dev/cdrom"!!! and hence
"/dev/cdrom/" was correctly treated as a directory ...

Is there a way in the foreign function interface to pass to a function
a struct by value? I explain it better.
There are two ways in c to pass structs, as in the following example:

int a;
int b;
};
//by value

There are several haskell wrappers for the pcre library.
