The parameter type has to be one b,i,r,s,f,fr,fw,fe,fn. The fr,fw,fe,fn types test for read access, write access, file existence, and file absence, respectively. The parameter mode has to be one of a,h,l,q,hl,ql,lh,lq. For mode 'a' the effective mode equals to the value given by the mode parameter, if it exists. Without the presence of the mode parameter the effective mode will be 'h'.
