-.Dt REVOKE 2
-.Os
-.Sh NAME
-.Nm revoke
-.Nd revoke file access
-.Sh LIBRARY
-.Lb libc
-.Sh SYNOPSIS
-.In unistd.h
-.Ft int
-.Fn revoke "const char *path"
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-The
-.Fn revoke
-system call 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-from a character device file which has been revoked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
-system 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
-using a special close method which does not block.
-.Pp
-Access to a file may be revoked only by its owner or the super user.
-The
-.Fn revoke
-system call is currently supported only for block and character special
-device files.
-It is normally used to prepare a terminal device for a new login session,
-preventing any access by a previous user of the terminal.
-.Sh RETURN VALUES
-.Rv -std revoke
-.Sh ERRORS
-Access to the named file is revoked unless one of the following:
-.Bl -tag -width Er
-.It Bq Er ENOTDIR
-A component of the path prefix is not a directory.
-.It Bq Er ENAMETOOLONG
-A component of a pathname exceeded 255 characters,
-or an entire path name exceeded 1024 characters.
-.It Bq Er ENOENT
-The named file or a component of the path name does not exist.
-.It Bq Er EACCES
-Search permission is denied for a component of the path prefix.
-.It Bq Er ELOOP
-Too many symbolic links were encountered in translating the pathname.
-.It Bq Er EFAULT
-The
-.Fa path
-argument
-points outside the process's allocated address space.
-.It Bq Er EINVAL
-The implementation does not support the
-.Fn revoke
-operation on the named file.
-.It Bq Er EPERM
-The caller is neither the owner of the file nor the super user.
-.El
-.Sh SEE ALSO
-.Xr revoke 1 ,
-.Xr close 2
-.Sh HISTORY
-The
-.Fn revoke
-system call first appeared in
-.Bx 4.3 Reno .
-.Sh BUGS
-The non-blocking close method is only correctly implemented for
-terminal devices.
