isreadable

isreadable(path) -> Bool

Returns true if the current user has permission to read path, false otherwise.

Examples

Check if a file is readable:
```
julia> isreadable("path/to/file.txt")
true
```
This example checks if the current user has permission to read the file located at "path/to/file.txt".
Check if a directory is readable:
```
julia> isreadable("path/to/directory")
true
```
It determines if the current user has permission to read the directory located at "path/to/directory".
Handle unreadable files:
```
julia> isreadable("nonexistent/file.txt")
false
```
It returns false if the file does not exist or if the user does not have permission to read it.

Common mistake example:

julia> isreadable("/root/sensitive_file.txt")
ERROR: SystemError: Permission denied

In this example, the user does not have permission to access the file at /root/sensitive_file.txt. It's important to ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to avoid such errors when using isreadable.
