NAME

       fdetach - Detaches a STREAMS-based file descriptor from a file

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/bin/fdetach path

DESCRIPTION

       The  fdetach command dissociates a STREAMS-based file descriptor from a file, which is pointed to by the path parameter.  The STREAMS-based
       file descriptor was associatedwith the file by a prior program call, typically the fattach()|*O function.

       When this cmmand is successful, all path names that named the attached STREAMS file to again name the file to which the	STREAMS  file  was
       attached.   All	subsequent  oprations  on  the	file  pointed to by the path parameter are performed on the underlying file and not on the
       STREAMS file.

       The permissions and status of the node are returned to the state that they were in before the STREAMS file was attached.  Any  other  paths
       that the STREAMS file may be attached to are not affected.

       To  successfully  issue the fdetach command, the user must have the appropriate permissions or must be the owner of the file and have write
       permission.

EXAMPLES

       To detach the file descriptor for the STREAMS file /tmp/streamfile from its associated file system node, enter: fdetach /tmp/streamfile
