EUIDACCESS(3)              Linux Programmer's Manual             EUIDACCESS(3)



 

NAME


       euidaccess, eaccess - check effective user's permissions for a file

 

SYNOPSIS


       #define _GNU_SOURCE
       #include 

       int euidaccess(const char *pathname, int mode);
       int eaccess(const char *pathname, int mode);

 

DESCRIPTION






       Like  access(2),  euidaccess()  checks permissions and existence of the
       file identified by its argument pathname.  However, whereas  access(2),
       performs  checks  using the real user and group identifiers of the pro-
       cess, euidaccess() uses the effective identifiers.

       mode is a mask consisting of one or more of R_OK, W_OK, X_OK and  F_OK,
       with the same meanings as for access(2).

       eaccess()  is  a  synonym  for euidaccess(), provided for compatibility
       with some other systems.

 

RETURN VALUE


       On success (all requested permissions granted), zero is  returned.   On
       error  (at least one bit in mode asked for a permission that is denied,
       or some other error occurred), -1 is returned, and errno is set  appro-
       priately.

 

ERRORS


       As for access(2).

 

VERSIONS


       The eaccess() function was added to glibc in version 2.4.

 

CONFORMING TO


       These functions are non-standard.  Some other systems have an eaccess()
       function.
