access()

[Rahul Dhesi]

In article <979 at auspex.UUCP> guy at auspex.UUCP (Guy Harris) quotes POSIX:
     "pathname".  A string that is used to identify a *file*...It has
     an optional beginning *slash*, followed by zero or more
     *filenames* separated by *slashes*.

Hmmm...as I understand it, this disallows pathnames of the form
"//filename" and is ambiguous about pathnames of the form
"filename//filename".

This is not very UNIX-like.
