Function that limits the result of a query based on the current user's node_access

Hi Everyone,

I am wondering if there is such a function in Drupal core that limits the result of a query to the nodes, for example, that the user has access to. Just like how views gives its results where it eliminates the nodes where the current user has no access to view... It is somehow like node_access() but should already part of the query.

Thank you very much.
