NAME
fdetach - detach a STREAMS-based file descriptor from a file name
SYNOPSIS
fdetach path
DESCRIPTION
The fdetach command detaches or disassociates a file descriptor for an open STREAMS device or pipe
from its filename in the file system. The path argument is the path that was previously associated with the
file descriptor by the
fattach() function.
Operations on path will subsequently affect the file system node, not the STREAMS device or pipe. The
permissions and status of the node are returned to the state that they were in before the STREAMS device
or pipe was attached. Any other paths that the STREAMS device or pipe may be attached to are not
affected.
To successfully issue the
fdetach command, the user must be superuser or must be the owner of the file
and have write permission.
RETURN VALUE
fdetach returns 0 (zero) on success. If fdetach fails, it returns 1 and prints a message to
stderr.
EXAMPLES
To detach the file descriptor for the STREAMS file
/tmp/streamfile
from its associated file system
node, enter:
fdetach /tmp/streamfile
FILES
/usr/lib/nls/C/fdetach.cat
