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 pathname 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 operate on the file system node
             and not on the STREAMS file.  The permissions and status of
             the node are restored to the state they were in before the
             STREAMS file was attached to it.
