fdetach(3C) fdetach(3C) 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.
