4.4.24: access - Check permissions for a file

CALLING SEQUENCE:

#include <unistd.h>

int access(
  const char *pathname,
  int         mode
);

STATUS CODES:

EACCES: The requested access would be denied, either to the file itself or one of the directories in pathname.
EFAULT: pathname points outside your accessible address space.
EINVAL: Mode was incorrectly specified.
ENAMETOOLONG: pathname is too long.
ENOENT: A directory component in pathname would have been accessible but does not exist or was a dangling symbolic link.
ENOTDIR: A component used as a directory in pathname is not, in fact, a directory.
ENOMEM: Insufficient kernel memory was available.

DESCRIPTION:

Access checks whether the process would be allowed to read, write or test for existence of the file (or other file system object) whose name is pathname. If pathname is a symbolic link permissions of the file referred by this symbolic link are tested.

Mode is a mask consisting of one or more of R_OK, W_OK, X_OK and F_OK.

NOTES:

NONE
