This function returns whether a stream is writable. If a stream is not writable, then all write operations should result in nil operations (they will return zero bytes written). This state should be immutable across the lifetime of a file/stream class.

Syntax

boolean file:isWritable ()

Returns

Returns true if the file/stream is writable, false otherwise.

This snippet implements a file function that makes sure the file it has been passed to for writing actually supports writing. 

local function writeHeader( theFile, headerInfo )
    -- Check whether we can write things into the file.
    if not ( theFile:isWritable() ) then
        error( "fatal error: stream is not writable" );
    end

    -- Write a generic header structure.
    theFile:writeUInt( headerInfo.chunkSize );
    theFile:writeFloat( headerInfo.version );
    theFile:writeBoolean( headerInfo.isRaw );
end
