Types ¶
type Event ¶
Event is a structure that wraps the fsnotify.FileEvent. The reason we don't expose fsnotify.FileEvent directly is to allow for future expansion of state information in the Event struct.
type RecursiveWatcher ¶
type RecursiveWatcher struct {
*fsnotify.Watcher // File system watcher
Events chan Event // The channel to send events on
ErrorEvents chan error
}
RecursiveWatcher represents the file system watcher and communication channels.
func NewRecursiveWatcher ¶
func NewRecursiveWatcher(path string) (*RecursiveWatcher, error)
NewRecursiveWatcher creates a new file system watcher for path. It walks the directory tree at path adding each directory to the watcher. When the user creates a new directory it is also added to the list of directories to watch.
func (*RecursiveWatcher) Start ¶
func (watcher *RecursiveWatcher) Start()
Start starts monitoring for file system events and sends the events on the Events channel. It also handles directory create events by adding the newly created directory to the list of directories to monitor.
