Remarks
This property specifies whether the class should open a vault in read-only mode. When a vault is open in read-only mode, the following restrictions apply:
- No new vault items (files, directories, symbolic links, and alternate streams) may be created.
- No existing vault items may be modified, renamed, moved, or deleted. (This includes updating access times.)
- The vault cannot be resized or compacted (automatically or explicitly).
- Vault corruption cannot be repaired using check_and_repair.
Note: This property cannot be changed when active is True, and cannot be changed within events.
