Robert Watson 9c94f7731e o Introduce eaccess(2), a version of access(2) that uses the effective
credentials rather than the real credentials.  This is useful for
  implementing GUI's which need to modify icons based on access rights,
  but where use of open(2) is too expensive, use of stat(2) doesn't
  reflect the file system's real protection model, and use of
  access() suffers from real/effective credential confusion.  This
  implementation provides the same semantics as the call of the same
  name on SCO OpenServer.  Note: using this call improperly can
  leave you subject to some of the same races present in the
  access(2) call.
o To implement this, break out the basic logic of access(2) into
  vpaccess(), which accepts a passed credential to perform the
  invocation of VOP_ACCESS().  Add eaccess(2) to invoke vpaccess(),
  and modify access(2) to use vpaccess().

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.  This file
was last revised on:
$FreeBSD$

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this
directory (additional copyright information also exists for some
sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
more information).

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most
commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs
everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the
kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc.  The
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install
the kernel and the modules (see below).  Please see the top of
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
standard build targets and compile-time flags.

Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation
for which can be found at:
   http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html
And in the config(8) man page.
Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you have to build
world before.  More information is available in the handbook.

The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/i386/conf
sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the
file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation
kernel.  The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
devices, not just those commonly used.  It is the successor of the ancient
LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a
pure reference and documentation file.
