\fBsyd\-x\fR \- Check executability of files, list executables of processes

\fBsyd\-x\fR \fI[\-hcv]\fR \fI[\-l pid.\&.\&.\&]\fR \fI[files.\&.\&.\&]\fR
.PP
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
\fBsyd\-x\fR checks executability of the given files or lists executables of
the given processes.\& The file executability check uses the \fIexecveat\fR(2)
system call with the flag "AT_EXECVE_CHECK" on Linux>=6.\&14 and falls
back to the \fIfaccessat\fR(2) system call with the flag "X_OK" on older
Linux.\&  If the \fI\-l\fR option is specified, list mode is activated: all
following arguments are interpreted as process IDs, not files.\& In list
mode, executable file listing is done using the "PROCMAP_QUERY"
\fIioctl\fR(2) request on Linux>=6.\&11 and falls back to parsing the
\fIproc_pid_maps\fR(5) file textually on older Linux.\&
