✨ PROLOG ✨

so like, real talk first 🌸 this manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

no cap, that last bit matters — don't come for me if your platform's version is doing its own thing 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

faccessat — determine accessibility of a file relative to directory file descriptor

it's giving "can I touch this file or nah, and btw here's the directory to measure from" 👑

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <unistd.h>

int faccessat(int fd, const char *path, int amode, int flag);

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

Refer to access().

that's it. that's the whole description, bestie 😭 the POSIX girlies really said "go read the other one." fr fr, faccessat is the fd-relative glow-up of access(), and they just point you there. iykyk.
