DESCRIPTION
Exit successfully if file can be accessed with the speci-
fied mode. mode is one or more letters of rwx, where r is
for readable, w is for writable, and x is for executable.
The difference between access and test is that the latter

using the access(2) system call. This makes a difference
when file systems have been mounted read-only.
