System Administration Commands                        fdetach(1M)



NAME
     fdetach - detach a name from a STREAMS-based file descriptor

SYNOPSIS
     fdetach path


DESCRIPTION
     The fdetach command detaches a STREAMS-based file descriptor
     from  a  name  in  the  file system. Use the path operand to
     specify the path name of the object in the file system  name
     space, which was previously attached. See fattach(3C).


     The user must be the owner of the file or a  user  with  the
     appropriate  privileges.  All  subsequent operations on path
     will operate on the underlying file system entry and not  on
     the  STREAMS  file.  The permissions and status of the entry
     are restored to the state they were in  before  the  STREAMS
     file was attached to the entry.

OPERANDS
     The following operands are supported:

     path    Specifies the path name of the object  in  the  file
             system name space, which was previously attached.
