Spelling access(2)'s second argument as "2" is just horrid. POSIX makes no promises as to the numeric values of W_OK and related macros. Even if it accidentally works as intended on every supported platform, it's still unreadable and inconsistent with adjacent code. In passing, don't spell "NULL" as "0" either. Yes, that's legal C; no, it's not project style. Back-patch, just in case the unportability is real and not theoretical. (Most likely, even if a platform had different bit assignments for access()'s modes, there'd not be an observable behavior difference here; but I'm being paranoid today.)
The PostgreSQL contrib tree --------------------------- This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their usefulness. User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML documentation. When building from the source distribution, these modules are not built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected module, do the same in that module's subdirectory. Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database, you can simply do CREATE EXTENSION module_name; See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this procedure.
