fdetach(1M)                                                     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.  path is 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 file system node and not on the STREAMS file.  The
         permissions and status of the node are restored to the state the node
         was in before the STREAMS file was attached to it.
