NAME
fdetach — detach a STREAMS-based file descriptor from a filename
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
