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.
