fdetach(1M) fdetach(1M)
NAME
fdetach - detach a STREAMS-based file descriptor from a filename
SYNOPSIS
path
DESCRIPTION
The 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 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 command, the user must be superuser or must be the owner of the file and have write permission.
RETURN VALUE
returns 0 (zero) on success. If fails, it returns 1 and prints a message to
EXAMPLES
To detach the file descriptor for the STREAMS file from its associated file system node, enter:
