.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn revoke "char *path"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn revoke
|
|
function invalidates all current open file descriptors in the system
|
|
for the file named by
|
|
.Fa path .
|
|
Subsequent operations on any such descriptors
|
|
fail, with the exceptions that a
|
|
.Fn read
|
|
from a character device file which has been revoked
|
|
returns a count of zero (end of file),
|
|
and a
|
|
.Fn close
|
|
call will succeed.
|
|
If the file is a special file for a device which is open,
|
|
the device close function
|
|
is called as if all open references to the file had been closed.
|
|

|
|
preventing any access by a previous user of the terminal.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES

|
