PROLOG
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.
The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult
the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),
or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
NAME
fdetach - detach a name from a STREAMS-based file descriptor (STREAMS)
SYNOPSIS
#include <stropts.h>
int fdetach(const char * path);
DESCRIPTION
The fdetach() function shall detach a STREAMS-based file from
the file to which it was attached by a previous call to fattach().
The 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 fdetach() 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 path shall operate on the underlying file and
not on the STREAMS file.
All open file descriptions established while the STREAMS file was
attached to the file referenced by path shall still
refer to the STREAMS file after the fdetach() has taken effect.
If there are no open file descriptors or other references to the STREAMS
file, then a successful call to fdetach() shall
be equivalent to performing the last close() on the attached
file.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, fdetach() shall return 0; otherwise,
it shall return -1 and set errno to indicate the
error.
ERRORS
The fdetach() function shall fail if:
- EACCES
-
Search permission is denied on a component of the path prefix.
- EINVAL
-
The path argument names a file that is not currently attached.
- ELOOP
-
A loop exists in symbolic links encountered during resolution of the
path argument.
- ENAMETOOLONG
-
The size of a pathname exceeds {PATH_MAX} or a pathname component
is longer than {NAME_MAX}.
- ENOENT
-
A component of path does not name an existing file or path
is an empty string.
- ENOTDIR
-
A component of the path prefix is not a directory.
- EPERM
-
The effective user ID is not the owner of path and the process
does not have appropriate privileges.
The fdetach() function may fail if:
- ELOOP
-
More than {SYMLOOP_MAX} symbolic links were encountered during resolution
of the path argument.
- ENAMETOOLONG
-
Pathname resolution of a symbolic link produced an intermediate result
whose length exceeds {PATH_MAX}.
The following sections are informative.
EXAMPLES
Detaching a File
The following example detaches the STREAMS-based file /tmp/named-STREAM
from the file to which it was attached by a
previous, successful call to fattach(). Subsequent calls to
open this file refer to
the underlying file, not to the STREAMS file.
-
#include <stropts.h>
...
char *filename = "/tmp/named-STREAM";
int ret;
ret = fdetach(filename);
APPLICATION USAGE
None.
RATIONALE
None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
