isReadableFile(atPath:)
Returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the invoking object appears able to read a specified file.
Declaration
func isReadableFile(atPath path: String) -> BoolParameters
- path:
A file path.
Return Value
true if the current process has read privileges for the file at path; otherwise false if the process does not have read privileges or the existence of the file could not be determined.
Discussion
If the file at path is inaccessible to your app, perhaps because it does not have search privileges for one or more parent directories, this method returns false. This method traverses symbolic links in the path. This method also uses the real user ID and group ID, as opposed to the effective user and group IDs, to determine if the file is readable.
