I'm guessing TextEdit is using NSURLIsWritableKey like this:
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:@"/System/" isDirectory:YES]; //
"/System/" isn't writable for most users
NSError *error;
NSNumber *isWritable = nil;
if ( [url getResourceValue:&isWritable forKey:NSURLIsWritableKey
error:&error] ) {
NSLog(@"%@ is %@writable", url, [isWritable boolValue] ? @"" :
@"not ");
}
else {
NSLog(@"Error: %@", error);
}
The NSURLIsWritableKey property reflects W_OK bit in the effective permissions
of the current user as returned by access(2) or getattrlist(2) with the
ATTR_CMN_USERACCESS attribute.
