The \fIpath\fR argument points to the pathname of the attached \fBSTREAMS\fR file. The process must have appropriate privileges or be the owner of the file. A successful call to \fBfdetach()\fR causes all pathnames that named the attached \fBSTREAMS\fR file to again name the file to which the \fBSTREAMS\fR file was attached. All subsequent operations on \fIpath\fR will operate on the underlying file and not on the \fBSTREAMS\fR file. .sp .LP All open file descriptions established while the \fBSTREAMS\fR file was attached to the file referenced by \fIpath\fR, will still refer to the \fBSTREAMS\fR file after the \fBfdetach()\fR has taken effect. .sp .LP If there are no open file descriptors or other references to the \fBSTREAMS\fR file, then a successful call to \fBfdetach()\fR has the same effect as performing the last \fBclose\fR(2) on the attached file. .SH RETURN VALUES .sp .LP Upon successful completion, \fBfdetach()\fR returns \fB0\fR. Otherwise, it returns \fB\(mi1\fR and sets \fBerrno\fR to indicate the error. .SH ERRORS .sp .LP The \fBfdetach()\fR function will fail if: .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fBEACCES\fR\fR .ad .RS 16n .rt Search permission is denied on a component of the path prefix. .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fBEPERM\fR\fR .ad .RS 16n .rt The effective user \fBID\fR is not the owner of \fIpath\fR and the process does not have appropriate privileges. .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fBENOTDIR\fR\fR .ad .RS 16n .rt A component of the path prefix is not a directory. .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fBENOENT\fR\fR .ad .RS 16n .rt A component of \fIpath\fR does not name an existing file or \fIpath\fR is an empty string. .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fBEINVAL\fR\fR .ad .RS 16n .rt The \fIpath\fR argument names a file that is not currently attached. .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fBENAMETOOLONG\fR\fR .ad .RS 16n .rt The size of a pathname exceeds \fBPATH_MAX\fR, or a pathname component is longer than \fBNAME_MAX\fR while \fB_POSIX_NO_TRUNC\fR is in effect. .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fBELOOP\fR\fR .ad .RS 16n .rt Too many symbolic links were encountered in resolving \fIpath\fR. .RE .sp .LP The \fBfdetach()\fR function may fail if: .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fBENAMETOOLONG\fR\fR .ad .RS 16n .rt Pathname resolution of a symbolic link produced an intermediate result whose length exceeds \fBPATH_MAX\fR. .RE .SH ATTRIBUTES .sp .LP See \fBattributes\fR(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: .sp .sp .TS tab() box; lw(2.75i) |lw(2.75i) lw(2.75i) |lw(2.75i) . \fBATTRIBUTE TYPE\fR\fBATTRIBUTE VALUE\fR _ Interface StabilityStandard .TE .SH SEE ALSO .sp .LP \fBfdetach\fR(1M), \fBclose\fR(2), \fBfattach\fR(3C), \fBattributes\fR(5), \fBstandards\fR(5), \fBstreamio\fR(7I) .sp .LP \fISTREAMS Programming Guide\fR
