with the specified mode. mode is one or more letters of rwx, where r is
for readable, w is for writable, and x is for executable.

between access and test is that the latter looks at the permission bits,
while the former checks using the access(2)
system call. This makes a
difference when file systems have been mounted read-only.
access

- --help
- Print help message and
exit.
