mvIsReadOnly - see if a movie instance is read-only

As shipped in IRIX 6.5. First release of IRIX 6.5.

NAME
     mvIsReadOnly - see if a movie instance is read-only


SYNOPSIS
     #include <dmedia/moviefile.h>

     MVboolean mvIsReadOnly( MVid movie );


DESCRIPTION
     In some circumstances an application may not be allowed to modify a movie
     even if the movie is opened O_RDWR.  Reasons for this include incomplete
     support of certain file formats or lack of necessary compression
     functionality.  The call mvIsReadOnly should be called after a movie has
     been opened to determine whether or not calls which modify the movie will
     be allowed.  mvIsReadOnly returns DM_TRUE if the movie is read-only and
     DM_FALSE if it is not.
