fcntl(fd, F_GETFL, intp) does not put the return value into *intp.  The
flags are in fcntl()'s return value.  Same with 2.4.

#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
	int trigger_pipe[2];
	int err;
	int flags;
	int newflags;

	pipe(trigger_pipe);

	/* Get flags */
	flags = fcntl(trigger_pipe[0], F_GETFL, NULL);
	fprintf(stderr, "Set flags: 0x%x\n", flags);

	/* Set flags */
	flags |= O_NONBLOCK;
	err = fcntl(trigger_pipe[0], F_SETFL, flags);
	fprintf(stderr, "Set flags: %d\n", err);

	/* Check flags */
	flags = fcntl(trigger_pipe[0], F_GETFL, NULL);
	fprintf(stderr, "Get flags: 0x%0x\n", flags);
}
