# Description
This approach is a bit straightforward, call access() check with the
flag `X_OK`.
Zsh[^1], Fish perform this check by the same approach.

It could also avoid manual xattrs check on other *nix platforms.
BTW, the execution bit for directories in *nix world means permission to
access it's content,
while the read bit means to list it's content. [^0]

# User-Facing Changes
Users could face less permission check bugs in their `cd` usage.
# Tests + Formatting
<!--
Don't forget to add tests that cover your changes.
Make sure you've run and fixed any issues with these commands:
- `cargo fmt --all -- --check` to check standard code formatting (`cargo
fmt --all` applies these changes)
- `cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings -D clippy::unwrap_used` to
check that you're using the standard code style
- `cargo test --workspace` to check that all tests pass (on Windows make
sure to [enable developer
mode](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/get-started/developer-mode-features-and-debugging))
- `cargo run -- -c "use toolkit.nu; toolkit test stdlib"` to run the
tests for the standard library
> **Note**
> from `nushell` you can also use the `toolkit` as follows
> ```bash
> use toolkit.nu # or use an `env_change` hook to activate it
automatically
> toolkit check pr
> ```

# After Submitting
<!-- If your PR had any user-facing changes, update [the

These sub-crates form both the foundation for Nu and a set of plugins which extend Nu with additional functionality.
Foundational libraries are split into two kinds of crates:
Core crates - those crates that work together to build the Nushell language engine
Support crates - a set of crates that support the engine with additional features like JSON support, ANSI support, and more.
Plugins are likewise also split into two types:
Core plugins - plugins that provide part of the default experience of Nu, including access to the system properties, processes, and web-connectivity features.
Extra plugins - these plugins run a wide range of different capabilities like working with different file types, charting, viewing binary data, and more.
