override this.SetWritable : bool -> boolParameters
- writable
- Boolean
If true, sets the access permission to allow write
operations; if false to disallow write operations
Returns

- Boolean
If true, sets the access permission to allow write
operations; if false to disallow write operations
- ownerOnly
- Boolean

the underlying file system can not distinguish the owner's write
permission from that of others, then the permission will apply to
everybody, regardless of this value.
Returns
true if and only if the operation succeeded. The
operation will fail if the user does not have permission to change
the access permissions of this abstract pathname.

The java.nio.file.Files class defines methods that operate on file attributes including file permissions. This may be used when finer manipulation of file permissions is required.
