        kpsestat = FILE

You can also get `hypothetical' permissions by replacing the `=' with a
mode modification a la chmod, for example,
        kpsestat o+r FILE
gives you the permissions the file would have if its owner ran chmod o+r,
but doesn't actually change them.


However, it's in the tetex-bin package. Can't imagine why.
