would it be better to use access() to check for file readibility?
The function is also available under windows and I believe under
mac.
access() has security faults in lots of platforms, in fact even manpages
say things like «access() is a potential security hole and should never
be used»
(from the MacOS X manpages). If you want to do something similar use
stat()
or just stick with fopen(). stat() is available in Win32, too.
