SYNOPSIS string valid_write(string path, string uid, string func, object ob) DESCRIPTION This function is called to check if the object ob with the user-id uid has write permissions to the file given by path for the operation named by func. It should return 0 if permission is denied, or the normalized path if permission is granted. You can also return 1 to indicate that the path can be used unchanged. The returned pathname must not contain ``..'', a leading / will be stripped by the interpreter. Func denotes the efun call or other operation that caused valid_write() to be called: cindent, do_rename (efun rename(), for the old and then for the new name), ed_start (whenever the builtin ed tries to write to a file), mkdir, remove_file (efun rm()), rmdir, save_object, write_bytes, write_file. Note that this function is called in compat mode as well. If you need to be compatible with the old 2.4.5-mudlib, redirect these calls to the valid_read/valid_write in the user object.
