Overview ¶
Package inotify implements a wrapper for the Linux inotify system.
Example:
watcher, err := inotify.NewWatcher()
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
err = watcher.Watch("/tmp")
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
for {
select {
case ev := <-watcher.Event:
log.Println("event:", ev)
case err := <-watcher.Error:
log.Println("error:", err)
}
}

Types ¶
type Event ¶
type Event struct {
Mask uint32 // Mask of events
Cookie uint32 // Unique cookie associating related events (for rename(2))
Name string // File name (optional)
}
Event represents a notification
type Watcher ¶
type Watcher struct {
Error chan error // Errors are sent on this channel
Event chan *Event // Events are returned on this channel
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
Watcher represents an inotify instance
func NewWatcher ¶
NewWatcher creates and returns a new inotify instance using inotify_init(2)
func (*Watcher) AddWatch ¶
AddWatch adds path to the watched file set. The flags are interpreted as described in inotify_add_watch(2).
func (*Watcher) Close ¶
Close closes an inotify watcher instance It sends a message to the reader goroutine to quit and removes all watches associated with the inotify instance
func (*Watcher) RemoveWatch ¶
RemoveWatch removes path from the watched file set.
