Constant inotify_sys::IN_ATTRIB

pub const IN_ATTRIB: uint32_t

Event: Metadata was changed

This can include e.g.

• permissions, see chmod(2);
• timestamps, see utimensat(2);
• extended attributes, see setxattr(2);
• link count, see link(2) and unlink(2);
• user/group, see chown(2).

This constant can be passed to inotify_add_watch, to register interest in this type of event, or it can be used to check (via inotify_event's mask field) whether an event is of this type.

When monitoring a directory, this event can be triggered for both for the directory itself and the files within.

See man page for additional details.
