}

Event represents a single file system notification.

func (Event) String ¶ Uses

func (e Event) String() string

String returns a string representation of the event in the form "file: REMOVE|WRITE|..."

type Op ¶ Uses

type Op uint32

Op describes a set of file operations.

const (
    Create Op  = 1 << iota
    Write
    Remove
    Rename
    Chmod
)

These are the generalized file operations that can trigger a notification.

func (Op) String ¶ Uses

func (op Op) String() string

type Watcher ¶ Uses

type Watcher struct {
    Events chan Event
    Errors chan error
    // contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Watcher watches a set of files, delivering events to a channel.

func NewWatcher ¶ Uses

func NewWatcher() (*Watcher, error)

NewWatcher establishes a new watcher with the underlying OS and begins waiting for events.

func (*Watcher) Add ¶ Uses

func (w *Watcher) Add(name string) error

Add starts watching the named file or directory (non-recursively).

func (*Watcher) Close ¶ Uses

func (w *Watcher) Close() error

Close removes all watches and closes the events channel.

func (*Watcher) Remove ¶ Uses

func (w *Watcher) Remove(name string) error

Remove stops watching the named file or directory (non-recursively).
