Hi,<br>
you can check if the directory containing the file is writable, if it isn't then you can't create a file.<br>

Hello,<br>How can i check whether i can create or overwrite a file?<br><br>For example:<br>If /etc/conf.d/net cannot be overwritten or created it return false.<br><br>Overwriting test would be -w /etc/conf.d/net, but how can i check if i can
<br>create this file? I could check whether i can create new files<br>in /etc/conf.d, but how can i get /etc/conf.d/ from /etc/conf.d/net ?<br><br>--<br>Best Regards,<br>Peper<br>--<br><a href="mailto:gentoo-user@gentoo.org">
