kpseaccess

KPSEACCESS(1)               General Commands Manual              KPSEACCESS(1)

NAME
       kpseaccess - determine whether a file can be accessed

SYNOPSIS
       kpseaccess mode file

DESCRIPTION
       Exit successfully if file can be accessed with the specified mode.  The
       mode is an optional dash (`-') followed by zero or more letters of 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 options:

       --help Print help message and exit.

       --version
              Print version information and exit.
