+.SH NAME
+kpseaccess \- determine whether a file can be accessed
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B kpseaccess
+.I [-rwx]
+.I file
+.\"=====================================================================
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Exit successfully if
+.I file
+can be accessed with the specified mode.
+The mode is one or more letters of
+.IR rwx ,
+where
+.I r
+is for readable,
+.I w
+is for writable, and
+.I x
+is for executable.
+.PP
+The difference between
+.B kpseaccess
+and
+.B test
+is that the latter looks at the permission bits, while the former
+checks using the
+.BR access (2)
+system call. This makes a difference when file systems have been
+mounted read-only.
+.\"=====================================================================

+.B kpseaccess
+accepts the following additional options:
+.TP
+.B --help
+.rb
+Print help message and exit.
