6ce8cde2 MK |
40 | .BR euidaccess () |
41 | checks permissions and existence of the file identified by its argument | |
42 | .IR pathname . | |
988db661 | 43 | However, whereas |
fb186734 | 44 | .BR access (2), |
6ce8cde2 MK |
45 | performs checks using the real user and group identifiers of the process, |
46 | .BR euidaccess () | |
47 | uses the effective identifiers. | |
48 | ||
49 | .I mode | |
50 | is a mask consisting of one or more of | |
51 | .BR R_OK ", " W_OK ", " X_OK " and " F_OK , | |
988db661 | 52 | with the same meanings as for |
fb186734 | 53 | .BR access (2). |

60 | On success (all requested permissions granted), zero is returned. | |
61 | On error (at least one bit in | |
62 | .I mode | |

64 | \-1 is returned, and | |
65 | .I errno | |
66 | is set appropriately. | |
