|
.SH SYNOPSIS

|
|
.B #define _GNU_SOURCE
|
|
.B #include <unistd.h>

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
Like
|
|
.BR access (2),
|
|
.BR euidaccess ()
|
|
checks permissions and existence of the file identified by its argument
|
|
.IR pathname .
|
|
However, whereas
|
|
.BR access (2),
|
|
performs checks using the real user and group identifiers of the process,
|
|
.BR euidaccess ()
|
|
uses the effective identifiers.
|
|
|
|
.I mode
|
|
is a mask consisting of one or more of
|
|
.BR R_OK ", " W_OK ", " X_OK " and " F_OK ,
|
|
with the same meanings as for
|
|
.BR access (2).
|
|
|
|
.BR eaccess ()
|
|
is a synonym for
|
|
.BR euidaccess (),
|
|
provided for compatibility with some other systems.
|
|
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
|
|
On success (all requested permissions granted), zero is returned.
|
|
On error (at least one bit in
|
|
.I mode
|
|
asked for a permission that is denied, or some other error occurred),
|
|
\-1 is returned, and
|
|
.I errno
|
|
is set appropriately.
|
|
.SH ERRORS
|
|
As for
|
|
.BR access (2).

|
function was added to glibc in version 2.4.
