sldetach(1M)                                                   sldetach(1M)

NAME
     sldetach - deactivate SLIP interfaces

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/sbin/sldetach tty

DESCRIPTION
     Using this command, you can close down an established SLIP connection.

     The sldetach command establishes which process is responsible for the
     specified TTY interface, and sends this process a signal. The process
     then terminates and releases the TTY interface.

OPTIONS
     tty  is the name of the special file in the /dev directory, to which
          the SLIP interface is to be attached. This name is specified
          without the prefix "/dev/". The name specified here must be the
          name of a special file that is being used by a SLIP connection.

     In order to set up a connection to another computer, the interface
     generated with slattach must be configured with the ifconfig(1M) com-
     mand.

     When SLIP is terminated, the slattach process executing in the back-
     ground should also be terminated in order to release the tty inter-
     face.
