Not really. It's sort-of possible by copying the internal structure from
the RTL and checking certain fields, but even that method isn't fool-proof
(since it's possible that an uninitialized file variale "accidentally"
contains valid values). You really should structure your program so that
at any time, it knows in what state a certain file (or any other variable)
is.
