public static bool IsWritable (Java.Nio.FileNio.IPath? path);[<Android.Runtime.Register("isWritable", "(Ljava/nio/file/Path;)Z", "", ApiSince=26)>]
static member IsWritable : Java.Nio.FileNio.IPath -> boolParameters
- path
- IPath
the path to the file to check
Returns
true if the file exists and is writable; false
if the file does not exist, write access would be denied because
the Java virtual machine has insufficient privileges, or access
cannot be determined
- Attributes
Remarks
Tests whether a file is writable. This method checks that a file exists and that this Java virtual machine has appropriate privileges that would allow it open the file for writing. Depending on the implementation, this method may require to read file permissions, access control lists, or other file attributes in order to check the effective access to the file. Consequently, this method may not be atomic with respect to other file system operations.
Note that result of this method is immediately outdated, there is no guarantee that a subsequent attempt to open the file for writing will succeed (or even that it will access the same file). Care should be taken when using this method in security sensitive applications.
