+to Detach and Re-attach a File</title><shortdesc>Explains how to detach and re-attach a file with the File Store.</shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>
+<p>The file associated with a file store may be detached from the file store
+and later re-attached. This behaviour is useful in cases where the file needs
+to be closed and later re-opened ; for example, to give up a write lock for
+backup purposes.</p>
+<p>It is very important that the contents of the file should <i>not change</i> while
+it is detached.</p>
+<p>In the following code fragment, the file associated with the file store
+is detached and closed; the file is then re-opened and re-attached to the
+file store.</p>
