fdetach(1M)                      UNIX System V                      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.
