- .\"
- .SH NAME
- fdetach
- \(em detach a name from a STREAMS-based file descriptor (\fBSTREAMS\fP)
- .SH SYNOPSIS
- .LP
- .nf
- #include <stropts.h>
- .P
- int fdetach(const char *\fIpath\fP);
- .fi
- .SH DESCRIPTION
- The
- \fIfdetach\fR()
- function shall detach a STREAMS-based file from the file to which
- it was attached by a previous call to
- \fIfattach\fR().
- The
- .IR path
- argument points to the pathname of the attached STREAMS file. The
- process shall have appropriate privileges or be the owner of the file.
- A successful call to
- \fIfdetach\fR()
- shall cause all pathnames that named the attached STREAMS file to again
- name the file to which the STREAMS file was attached. All subsequent
- operations on
- .IR path
- shall operate on the underlying file and not on the STREAMS file.
- .P
- All open file descriptions established while the STREAMS file was
- attached to the file referenced by
- .IR path
- shall still refer to the STREAMS file after the
- \fIfdetach\fR()
- has taken effect.
- .P
- If there are no open file descriptors or other references to the
- STREAMS file, then a successful call to
- \fIfdetach\fR()
- shall be equivalent to performing the last
- \fIclose\fR()
- on the attached file.
- .SH "RETURN VALUE"
- Upon successful completion,
- \fIfdetach\fR()
- shall return 0; otherwise, it shall return \-1 and set
- .IR errno
- to indicate the error.
- .SH ERRORS
- The
- \fIfdetach\fR()
- function shall fail if:
- .TP
- .BR EACCES
- Search permission is denied on a component of the path prefix.
- .TP
- .BR EINVAL
- The
- .IR path
- argument names a file that is not currently attached.
- .TP
- .BR ELOOP
- A loop exists in symbolic links encountered during resolution of the
- .IR path
- argument.
- .TP
- .BR ENAMETOOLONG
- .br
- The length of a component of a pathname is longer than
- {NAME_MAX}.
- .TP
- .BR ENOENT
- A component of
- .IR path
- does not name an existing file or
- .IR path
- is an empty string.
- .TP
- .BR ENOTDIR
- A component of the path prefix names an existing file that is neither
- a directory nor a symbolic link to a directory, or the
- .IR path
- argument contains at least one non-\c
- <slash>
- character and ends with one or more trailing
- <slash>
- characters and the last pathname component names an existing file
- that is neither a directory nor a symbolic link to a directory.
- .TP
- .BR EPERM
- The effective user ID is not the owner of
- .IR path
- and the process does not have appropriate privileges.
- .P
- The
- \fIfdetach\fR()
- function may fail if:
- .TP
- .BR ELOOP
- More than
- {SYMLOOP_MAX}
- symbolic links were encountered during resolution of the
- .IR path
- argument.
- .TP
- .BR ENAMETOOLONG
- .br
- The length of a pathname exceeds
- {PATH_MAX},
- or pathname resolution of a symbolic link produced an intermediate
- result with a length that exceeds
- {PATH_MAX}.

- .SH EXAMPLES
- .SS "Detaching a File"
- .P
- The following example detaches the STREAMS-based file
- .BR /tmp/named-STREAM
- from the file to which it was attached by a previous, successful call
- to
- \fIfattach\fR().
- Subsequent calls to open this file refer to the underlying file, not to
- the STREAMS file.
