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.
