Do you mean whether it's writeable? Or whether there's an application the system that is capable of editing that file type?

If you just want to know whether it's writable you could use the "ls" command and parse the permissions bits.

But I also need to test whether or not it's editable.
The only test I have found that works is to try to open it with an
editor and get an error if it's not editable, but this method is
not acceptable. And how does the editor know this?
