NAME
kpseaccess - determine whether a file can be accessed
SYNOPSIS
kpseaccess
[-rwx]
file
DESCRIPTION
Exit successfully if
file
can be accessed with the specified mode.
The mode is one or more letters of
R rwx ,
where
r
is for readable,
w
is for writable, and
x
is for executable.
The difference between
kpseaccess
and
test
is that the latter looks at the permission bits, while the former
checks using the
access(2)
system call. This makes a difference when file systems have been
mounted read-only.
OPTIONS
kpseaccess
accepts the following additional options:
--help
Print help message and exit.
--version
Print version information and exit.
