If you had to compile all of stdio whenever you did #include <stdio.h>, for example, that would be a real pain. But instead, it can just include a lot of definition-less declarations, and let you find the functions inside a library file when it gets linked.

It also lets someone give you a library file without necessarily giving you the code that made it(though inevitably system-specific).

RFIO_ACCESS(3)						      Rfio Library Functions						    RFIO_ACCESS(3)

NAME
rfio_access - check existence/accessibility of a file/directory SYNOPSIS
Under Unix: #include <sys/types.h> #include <unistd.h> #include "rfio_api.h" Under Windows/NT: #include <sys/types.h> #define R_OK 4 #define W_OK 2 #define X_OK 1 #define F_OK 0 #include "rfio_api.h" int rfio_access (const char *path, int amode); DESCRIPTION
rfio_access checks the existence or the accessibility of the file/directory path according to the bit pattern in amode using the real user ID. path specifies the logical pathname relative to the current directory or the full pathname. amode the bit pattern is built by an OR of the constants defined in <unistd.h> under Unix or to be explicitly defined under Windows/NT: R_OK test for read permission W_OK test for write permission X_OK test for search/execute permission F_OK test for existence of the directory/file. RETURN VALUE
This routine returns 0 if the operation was successful or -1 if the operation failed. In the latter case, serrno is set appropriately. ERRORS
ENOENT The named file/directory does not exist. EACCES Search permission is denied on a component of the path prefix or specified access to the file itself is denied. EFAULT path is a NULL pointer. ENOTDIR A component of path prefix is not a directory. EINVAL amode is invalid. ENAMETOOLONG The length of path exceeds CA_MAXPATHLEN or the length of a path component exceeds CA_MAXNAMELEN. SENOSHOST Host unknown. SENOSSERV Service unknown. SECOMERR Communication error. SEE ALSO
