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

Hello,
How can i check whether i can create or overwrite a file?
For example:
If /etc/conf.d/net cannot be overwritten or created it return false.
Overwriting test would be -w /etc/conf.d/net, but how can i check if i can
create this file? I could check whether i can create new files
in /etc/conf.d, but how can i get /etc/conf.d/ from /etc/conf.d/net ?

I have plenty of common sense,
I just choose to ignore it.
