Access
give file accessibility
access
char *fname
int perm
Description
Access returns 0 if the access modes specified in "perm" are
correct for the user to access "fname". -1 is returned if the
file cannot be accessed.
The value for "perm" may be any legal OS-9 mode as used for
"open()" or "creat()", it may be zero, which tests whether the
file exists, or the path to it may be searched.
Caveats
NOTE that the "perm" value is not compatible with other
systems.
Diagnostics
The appropiate error indication, if a value of -1 is returned,
may be found in "errno".
