!!NAME


access - determine whether a file can be accessed
!!SYNOPSIS


__access__ ''-mode file''
!!DESCRIPTION


Exit successfully if ''file'' can be accessed with the
specified mode. ''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 __access__ 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


__access__ accepts the following additional
options:


__--help__


Print help message and exit.


__--version__


Print version information and exit.
!!SEE ALSO
