I'm not certain either. I have no experience programming for windows. The docs for ReadFile/WriteFile did not even indicate that ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED was a valid return code. The idea of access failure makes more sense for open or create. I have no idea what else could cause it. But I suspect there are no cases where write returns EACCES under POSIX.
