20.15 DBFS Content API Access Checks

The DBFS Content API checks the access of specific path names by operations.

Function CHECKACCESS() checks if a given path name (path, pathtype, store_name) can be manipulated by an operation, such as the various op_xxx opcodes) by principal, as described in "DBFS Content API Locking Operations"

This is a convenience function for the client; a store that supports access control still internally performs these checks to guarantee security.
