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.

ClientThis 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
