I think we are close to find the right wording for this. The return description
looks fine. For the method description, I have two suggested changes:
1. "If setting the read permission is supported" -> "If the platform supports
settings a file's read permission".
2. "If the platform or underlying file system does not support" -> "If the
platform does not support". The reason for this is that the underlying file
systems may or may support file permissions, an implementation can't
distinguish those.
