faccessat.2: Convert to link to access.2
All of the faccessat() text has been merged into access(2), so now all we need here is a link. Signed-off-by: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com>

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||||
The
|
||||
.BR faccessat ()
|
||||
system call operates in exactly the same way as
|
||||
.BR access (2),
|
||||
except for the differences described in this manual page.
|
||||
|
||||
If the pathname given in
|
||||
.I pathname
|
||||
is relative, then it is interpreted relative to the directory
|
||||
referred to by the file descriptor
|
||||
.I dirfd
|
||||
(rather than relative to the current working directory of
|
||||
the calling process, as is done by
|
||||
.BR access (2)
|
||||
for a relative pathname).
|
||||
|
||||
If
|
||||
.I pathname
|
||||
is relative and
|
||||
.I dirfd
|
||||
is the special value
|
||||
.BR AT_FDCWD ,
|
||||
then
|
||||
.I pathname
|
||||
is interpreted relative to the current working
|
||||
directory of the calling process (like
|
||||
.BR access (2)).
|
||||
|
||||
If
|
||||
.I pathname
|
||||
is absolute, then
|
||||
.I dirfd
|
||||
is ignored.
|
||||
|
||||
.I flags
|
||||
is constructed by ORing together zero or more of the following values:
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B AT_EACCESS
|
||||
Perform access checks using the effective user and group IDs.
|
||||
By default,
|
||||
.BR faccessat ()
|
||||
uses the real IDs (like
|
||||
.BR access (2)).
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW
|
||||
If
|
||||
.I pathname
|
||||
is a symbolic link, do not dereference it:
|
||||
instead return information about the link itself.
|
||||
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
||||
On success, (all requested permissions granted)
|
||||
.BR faccessat ()
|
||||
returns 0.
|
||||
On error, \-1 is returned and
|
||||
.I errno
|
||||
is set to indicate the error.
|
||||
.SH ERRORS
|
||||
The same errors that occur for
|
||||
.BR access (2)
|
||||
can also occur for
|
||||
.BR faccessat ().
|
||||
The following additional errors can occur for
|
||||
.BR faccessat ():
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B EBADF
|
||||
.I dirfd
|
||||
is not a valid file descriptor.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B EINVAL
|
||||
Invalid flag specified in
|
||||
.IR flags .
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B ENOTDIR
|
||||
.I pathname
|
||||
is relative and
|
||||
.I dirfd
|
||||
is a file descriptor referring to a file other than a directory.
|
||||
.SH VERSIONS
|
||||
.BR faccessat ()
|
||||
was added to Linux in kernel 2.6.16;
|
||||
library support was added to glibc in version 2.4.
|
||||
.SH CONFORMING TO
|
||||
POSIX.1-2008.
|
||||
.SH NOTES
|
||||
See
|
||||
.BR openat (2)
|
||||
for an explanation of the need for
|
||||
.BR faccessat ().
|
||||
|
||||
.IR Warning :
|
||||
.BR faccessat ()
|
||||
is subject to the same kinds of races as
|
||||
.BR access (2)
|
||||
and
|
||||
.BR euidaccess (3).
|
||||
.SS Glibc notes
|
||||
The raw system call takes only the first three arguments.
|
||||
The
|
||||
.B AT_EACCESS
|
||||
and
|
||||
.B AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW
|
||||
flags are actually implemented within the glibc wrapper function for
|
||||
.BR faccessat ().
|
||||
If either of these flags is specified, then the wrapper function employs
|
||||
.BR fstatat (2)
|
||||
to determine access permissions.

||||
