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
