Function fs.isReadOnly
Checks if a path is read-only (i.e. cannot be modified). The path need not exist in order to perform this test. Note that the root directory and the mount points of any floppy disks are considered read-only, perhaps because they cannot themselves be modified, only their contents can be.
Syntax	fs.isReadOnly(string path)
Returns	boolean `false` if `path` can be written to, or `true` if not
Part of	ComputerCraft
API	fs

Example
Checks that the "rom" directory is read-only, as its name implies
Code	print(fs.isReadOnly("rom"))
Output	true
