__INODE_PERMISSION(9)                     The Linux VFS                     __INODE_PERMISSION(9)



NAME
       __inode_permission - Check for access rights to a given inode

SYNOPSIS
       int __inode_permission(struct inode * inode, int mask);

ARGUMENTS
       inode
           Inode to check permission on

       mask
           Right to check for (MAY_READ, MAY_WRITE, MAY_EXEC)

DESCRIPTION
       Check for read/write/execute permissions on an inode.

       When checking for MAY_APPEND, MAY_WRITE must also be set in mask.

       This does not check for a read-only file system. You probably want inode_permission.
