-c "open $f" is broken in xfs_io <= 4.8. Using it results in an endless loop and xfs_io exists with error EMFILE. A fix for that bug makes "open" a 'one shot' command. Along with this fix, a new -C flag was introduced to explicitly request to execute a one shot command. Check for -C flag support as an indication that -c "open $f" is not broken.
