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.
