In github.com/slewsys/ed this is implemented by reporting 'Read-only' if
ed is in verbose mode:
$ ed -v /etc/os-release
/etc/os-release: File is read-only
735
I find it less intrusive what is already implemented in GNU ed
1.20-pre3; warn only if trying to modify the buffer:
$ ed /etc/profile
2840
1d
/etc/profile: warning: read-only file
Antonio,
I would encourage you to re-read and reflect upon Dan Jacobson's
observations: the user is best served if informed from the outset.
