NAME

gfal_access - check existence/accessibility of a file/directory

SYNOPSIS

import os
import gfal

int gfal_access (string path, int amode)

DESCRIPTION

gfal_access checks the existence or the accessibility of the file/directory path according to the bit pattern in amode using the real user ID.

path: specifies the file name (this can only be a TURL in the current implementation).
amode: the bit pattern is built by an OR of the following constants: os.R_OK (read access), os.W_OK (write access), os.X_OK (execute access) or os.F_OK (file existence).

RETURN VALUE

This routine returns 0 if the operation was successful or -1 if the operation failed. In the latter case, errno is set appropriately.

ERRORS

ENOENT: The named file/directory does not exist.
EACCES: Search permission is denied on a component of the path prefix or specified access to the file itself is denied.
EFAULT: path is a NULL pointer.
ENOTDIR: A component of path prefix is not a directory.
EINVAL: path has an invalid syntax or amode is invalid.
ECOMM: Communication error.
EPROTONOSUPPORT: Access method not supported.
