|
|
|
<p>Adds an item to the watch list of an inotify instance, or modifies an
|
|
|
item on that list. This function takes the following arguments:</p>
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
<li><code>fd</code> is the file descriptor of the inotify instance (created by
|
|
|
<a href="fn.inotify_init.html"><code>inotify_init</code></a> or <a href="fn.inotify_init1.html"><code>inotify_init1</code></a>)</li>
|
|
|
<li><code>pathname</code> is the path of the file or directory watch</li>
|
|
|
<li><code>mask</code> defines the behavior of this function and configures the watch</li>
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
<p>The following flags in <code>mask</code> control the type of events to watch for:</p>
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
<li><a href="constant.IN_ACCESS.html"><code>IN_ACCESS</code></a></li>
|
|
|
<li><a href="constant.IN_ATTRIB.html"><code>IN_ATTRIB</code></a></li>
|
|
|
<li><a href="constant.IN_CLOSE_NOWRITE.html"><code>IN_CLOSE_NOWRITE</code></a></li>
|
|
|
<li><a href="constant.IN_CLOSE_WRITE.html"><code>IN_CLOSE_WRITE</code></a></li>
|
|
|
<li><a href="constant.IN_CREATE.html"><code>IN_CREATE</code></a></li>
|
|
|
<li><a href="constant.IN_DELETE.html"><code>IN_DELETE</code></a></li>
|
|
|
<li><a href="constant.IN_DELETE_SELF.html"><code>IN_DELETE_SELF</code></a></li>
|
|
|
<li><a href="constant.IN_MODIFY.html"><code>IN_MODIFY</code></a></li>
|
|
|
<li><a href="constant.IN_MOVED_FROM.html"><code>IN_MOVED_FROM</code></a></li>
|
|
|
<li><a href="constant.IN_MOVED_TO.html"><code>IN_MOVED_TO</code></a></li>
|
|
|
<li><a href="constant.IN_MOVE_SELF.html"><code>IN_MOVE_SELF</code></a></li>
|
|
|
<li><a href="constant.IN_OPEN.html"><code>IN_OPEN</code></a></li>
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
<p>The following constants can be used as shortcuts to set multiple event
|
|
|
flags:</p>
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
<li><a href="constant.IN_ALL_EVENTS.html"><code>IN_ALL_EVENTS</code></a></li>
|
|
|
<li><a href="constant.IN_CLOSE.html"><code>IN_CLOSE</code></a></li>
|
|
|
<li><a href="constant.IN_MOVE.html"><code>IN_MOVE</code></a></li>
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
<p>In addition, the following flags can be set to control the behaviors of
|
|
|
the watch and this function:</p>
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
<li><a href="constant.IN_DONT_FOLLOW.html"><code>IN_DONT_FOLLOW</code></a></li>
|
|
|
<li><a href="constant.IN_EXCL_UNLINK.html"><code>IN_EXCL_UNLINK</code></a></li>
|
|
|
<li><a href="constant.IN_MASK_ADD.html"><code>IN_MASK_ADD</code></a></li>
|
|
|
<li><a href="constant.IN_ONESHOT.html"><code>IN_ONESHOT</code></a></li>
|
|
|
<li><a href="constant.IN_ONLYDIR.html"><code>IN_ONLYDIR</code></a></li>
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
<p>The function returns <code>-1</code> if an error occured. Otherwise, it returns a
|
|
|
watch descriptor that can be used to remove the watch using
|
|
|
<a href="fn.inotify_rm_watch.html"><code>inotify_rm_watch</code></a> or identify the watch via <a href="struct.inotify_event.html"><code>inotify_event</code></a>'s [wd`]
|
|
|
field.</p>
