`yq` installs with [_strict confinement_](https://docs.snapcraft.io/snap-confinement/6233) in snap, this means it doesn't have direct access to root files. To read root files you can:
```
sudo cat /etc/myfile | yq r - a.path
sudo cat /etc/myfile | yq e '.a.path' -
```
And to write to a root file you can either use [sponge](https://linux.die.net/man/1/sponge):
```
sudo cat /etc/myfile | yq w - a.path value | sudo sponge /etc/myfile
sudo cat /etc/myfile | yq e '.a.path = "value"' - | sudo sponge /etc/myfile
```
or write to a temporary file:
```
sudo cat /etc/myfile | yq w - a.path value | sudo tee /etc/myfile.tmp
sudo cat /etc/myfile | yq e '.a.path = "value"' | sudo tee /etc/myfile.tmp
sudo mv /etc/myfile.tmp /etc/myfile
rm /etc/myfile.tmp
