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.
