VOP_ACCESS - check access permissions of a file or Unix domain socket

SYNOPSIS

In sys/param.h In sys/vnode.h Ft int Fn VOP_ACCESS struct vnode *vp int mode struct ucred *cred struct thread *td

DESCRIPTION

This entry point checks the access permissions of the file against the given credentials.

Its arguments are:

Fa vp

The vnode of the file to check.

Fa mode

The type of access required.

Fa cred

The user credentials to check.

Fa td

The thread which is checking.

The Fa mode is a mask which can contain VREAD VWRITE or VEXEC

LOCKS

The vnode will be locked on entry and should remain locked on return.

RETURN VALUES

If the file is accessible in the specified way, then zero is returned, otherwise an appropriate error code is returned.
