\begin{funcdesc}{access}{path, mode}
Check read/write/execute permissions for this process or existence of
file \var{path}. \var{mode} should be \constant{F_OK} to test the
existence of \var{path}, or it can be the inclusive OR of one or more
of \constant{R_OK}, \constant{W_OK}, and \constant{X_OK} to test
permissions. Return \code{1} if access is allowed, \code{0} if not.
Use the real uid/gid to test for access to \var{path}. Note that most
operations will use the effective uid/gid, therefore this routine can
be used in a suid/sgid environment to test if the invoking user has the
specified access to \var{path}. \var{mode} should be \constant{F_OK}
to test the existence of \var{path}, or it can be the inclusive OR of
