Meaning of file-accessible-directory-p()

[Nordlöw]

Is
  (file-accessible-directory-p dir-name)
equivalent to
  (and (file-directory-p dir-name) (file-readable-p dir-name))
?

Thanks in advance,
Nordlöw

The implementation in fileio.c is

  GCPRO1 (filename);
  tem = (NILP (Ffile_directory_p (filename))
	 || NILP (Ffile_executable_p (filename)));
  UNGCPRO;
  return tem ? Qnil : Qt;

However, on remote systems it could be different.
