EACCES
is returned if the file mode bit (i.e., user/group/other rwx bits) disallow access (mapped toerror.AccessDenied
).EPERM
is returned if something else denies access (immutable bit, SELinux, capabilities, etc) and is mapped toerror.PermissionDenied
. This somewhat subtle distinction in errors is part of POSIX, and can happen in practice on Linux or MacOS.This PR is effectively an update/simplification of (abandoned) PR #19193. See #16782 for deeper problems with the AccessDenied/PermissionDenied duopoly in Zig.
Tested locally with an immutable file.
Fixes #22733 and #19162.
