(indirectly) the Finder uses the FSPermissionInfo.userAccess field returned from FSGetCatalogInfo and friends on the parent of the file plus a locked check on the file itself. The userAccess of the parent is consulted because, of course, renaming an item is like adding and removing a child in the parent container and the user must be able to write to the parent container in order to make such changes.

What's the Carbon File Manager way to determine if I can rename a file without actually trying to rename it?
