Hello,
If you do include a complete permission bitfield, please do remember that
sometimes the usual interpretation of stat.mode_t for a particular file
will not be the same as the results of access(2). This happens for example
when using a file system with "real ACLs", like AFS. Therefore, you'll
still need another bitfield with just the access(2) info.
