KPSEACCESS(1)

💅 KPSEACCESS(1) — General Commands Manual 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

kpseaccess — determine whether a file can be accessed. that’s the whole assignment, and we ate 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

kpseaccess mode file

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so slay: kpseaccess exits 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. yes bestie, zero letters is allowed — the manpage said so, no cap ✨

The difference between kpseaccess and test is that the latter looks at the permission bits, while kpseaccess checks using the access(2) system call. this makes a difference when file systems have been mounted read-only — big main-character energy, fr fr.

🦋 OPTIONS 🦋

kpseaccess accepts the following options:

• --help — print help message and exit, periodt.
• --version — print version information and exit, slay.

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

• access(2) — the system call from the description, iykyk
