       _A_c_c_e_s_s checks the given file, _n_a_m_e_, for accessibility with
       respect to the caller according to _m_o_d_e_.  _M_o_d_e may include
       in any order and in any combination one or more of:

                    rr      test for read permission
                    ww      test for write permission
                    xx      test for execute permission
                 (blank)   test for existence

       An error code is returned if either argument  is  illegal,
       or  if the file cannot be accessed in all of the specified
       modes.  0 is returned if the  specified  access  would  be
       successful.
