Since one may have more than one filesystem side-by-side, this can't be just be a system-wide boolean somewhere. One would have to query the target directory for this information. I am not aware of the existence of code that does such a query, though.

Or you can just be practical and test for it. Create a file "foobar" and see if you can open "FOOBAR" in read mode...
