<para>
When attempting to read a file, if for any reason a file in a certain
- directory is unaccessible, e.g. because the directory is non-existant,
- the file is non-existant or the user is not authorized to open the file,
+ directory is unaccessible, e.g. because the directory is non-existent,
+ the file is non-existent or the user is not authorized to open the file,
then the processing of the file in that directory should be skipped.
If due to this a required file could not be found at all, the
application may chose to present an error message to the user.
