<a name="index-file-system_002c-access-mode"></a>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><em>Description</em>:</dt>
<dd><p><code>ACCESS(NAME, MODE)</code> checks whether the file <var>NAME</var>
exists, is readable, writable or executable. Except for the
executable check, <code>ACCESS</code> can be replaced by
Fortran 95&rsquo;s <code>INQUIRE</code>.

<dd><p>Inquiry function
</p>
</dd>
<dt><em>Syntax</em>:</dt>
<dd><p><code>RESULT = ACCESS(NAME, MODE)</code>
</p>
</dd>
<dt><em>Arguments</em>:</dt>
<dd><table>
<tr><td width="15%"><var>NAME</var></td><td width="70%">Scalar <code>CHARACTER</code> of default kind with the
file name. Tailing blank are ignored unless the character <code>achar(0)</code>
is present, then all characters up to and excluding <code>achar(0)</code> are
used as file name.</td></tr>
<tr><td width="15%"><var>MODE</var></td><td width="70%">Scalar <code>CHARACTER</code> of default kind with the
file access mode, may be any concatenation of <code>&quot;r&quot;</code> (readable),
<code>&quot;w&quot;</code> (writable) and <code>&quot;x&quot;</code> (executable), or <code>&quot; &quot;</code> to check
for existence.</td></tr>
</table>
</dd>
<dt><em>Return value</em>:</dt>
<dd><p>Returns a scalar <code>INTEGER</code>, which is <code>0</code> if the file is
accessible in the given mode; otherwise or if an invalid argument
has been given for <code>MODE</code> the value <code>1</code> is returned.
</p>

<dt><em>Example</em>:</dt>
<dd><div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">program access_test
