NAME

       fdetach() - detach a name from a STREAMS file descriptor

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       The  function  detaches	a  file descriptor from a name in the file system designated by path.  path specifies the path name of an existing
       object in the file system name space that was previously attached (see fattach(3C)).  As a result of the operation, the node's  status  and
       permissions  return  to	the  state prior to the file attaching to the node.  Any later operations on path will affect only the file system
       node and not the attached file.

   Security Restrictions
       The function is restricted to superusers, or users with the privilege, or those who own path and have write  permission.   In  addition	to
       having  the  privilege, or privileges may also be required.  See privileges(5) for more information about privileged access on systems that
       support fine-grained privileges.

RETURN VALUE

       Upon successful completion, the function returns a value of 0 (zero).  Otherwise, it returns a value of -1 is returned, and is set to indi-
       cate the error.

ERRORS

       If any of the following conditions occurs, the function sets to the value that corresponds to the condition.

       The		     path parameter points outside the process' allocated address space.

       The user does not have the correct permission to access the file.
			     See the section.

       The object pointed to by the
			     path parameter is not fattached to a STREAMS device or pipe.

       When		     path was translated, too many symbolic links were found.

       The		     path parameter points to a path name that does not exist.

       The directory portion of the
			     path parameter does not exist.

       The size of a path name component is longer than
			     when is in effect, or the path name length is longer than

       The current effective user ID is not the owner of the existing object
			     specified	by  the  path parameter, or the current effective user ID does not specify a user with the correct permis-
			     sions.
