fdetach(8)
NAME
  fdetach - Detaches a STREAMS-based file descriptor from a filename

SYNOPSIS
  fdetach path

DESCRIPTION
  The fdetach command detaches, or dissociates, the file descriptor (fildes)
  for a STREAMS file from its filename in the file system.  The path argument
  specifies the pathname of the object in the file system name space on which
  the command operates.	 This pathname is the one that was previously
  associated with the file descriptor by the fattach function.

  Operations will subsequently be made on the file system node, 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

FILES
  /usr/bin/fdetach
	    Specifies the command path.
