kpseaccess − determine whether a file can be accessed |
kpseaccess [-rwx] file |
Exit successfully if file can be accessed with the specified mode. The mode is one 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. |
kpseaccess accepts the following additional options: |
--help |
Print help message and exit. |
--version |
Print version information and exit. |
access(2) |
