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

--help |
