All major operating systems allow developers to write code that can open a file in a variety of different ways, including "r" or "ro" (read-only) "rw" (read-write), "w" (write-only), and "a" (append, like "w" but starts at the end of the file, preserving the previous contents). In these operating systems, applications may choose to open a file as "read-only", which prevents accidental modification of the file by logic errors in the code.
Files that can only be read (data can be retirieved) are called read-only files. You cannot write any data into a read-only file (you cannot edit it).
