#### 5.13`` File Security-Guard Checks

(require ffi/file) | package: base

> procedure (security-guard-check-file who path perms) → void?
> who : symbol?
> path : path-string?
> perms : (listof (or/c 'read 'write 'execute 'delete 'exists))

Checks whether (current-security-guard) permits access to the file specified by path with the permissions perms. See make-security-guard for more information on perms.

The symbol who should be the name of the function on whose behalf the security check is performed; it is passed to the security guard to use in access-denied errors.

> procedure (_file/guard perms [who]) → ctype?
> perms : (listof (or/c 'read 'write 'execute 'delete 'exists))
> who : symbol? = '_file/guard

Like _file and _path, but conversion from Racket to C first completes the path using path->complete-path then cleanses it using cleanse-path, then checks that the current security guard grants access on the resulting complete path with perms. As an output value, identical to _path.

> value _file/r : ctype?
> value _file/rw : ctype?

Equivalent to (_file/guard '(read)) and (_file/guard '(read write)), respectively.
