/**

 *
 * @brief Tests if the file or directory referred to by @a path is
 * changeable.
 *
 * A file or directory is considered changeable if it can be directly
 * modified or if any component of the path can be renamed.  If any
 * component of the path refers to a symbolic link, the target is also
 * tested.  Permissions are tested against the real user and group
 * IDs, not the effective IDs.
 *
 * This function is designed to help determine whether a file is safe
 * to exec from a setuid/setgid binary.  If this function returns
 * true, the user may be able to start a shell as the effective user.
 *
 * This function is thread-safe if the user's C POSIX library is
 * thread-safe.
 *
 * Defined in @p svnstsw/fso_is_changeable.h which is included in @p
 * svnstsw/svnstsw.h
 *
 * @param path Null-terminated string containing the path to the file
 * or directory to test.
 *
 * @return On success, returns 1 if the user (real user and group IDs)
 * can change the file or directory referred to by @a path, or 0 if
 * the file or directory can not be changed.  On error, returns 1 and
 * sets @a errno.  Error conditions and @a errno values are described
 * in the specifications for stat(), access(), snprintf(), lstat(),
 * readlink(), and getcwd().
