I think this is fine. Your comment in the PR that these answer the question what would happen if I tried to open() this path helps avoid any confusion that might exist. But I can't think of wording that is succinct, accurate, and covers all cases so don't have a suggestion to make.

"Access and friends provide a good first guess if a future open might succeed." Might be good to insert at the start. Or "access, eaccess and faccessat provide..." and change the list at the start of the next sentence to "These system calls".

LGTM. "whether an attempt to access the file" is definitely an improvement
