These function monitor changes in directories and files.
These functions use the best available method to monitor changes on a specified directory or file. They send ecore events when changes occur, and they maintain internal refcounts to reduce resource consumption on duplicate monitor targets.
Eio_Monitor* eio_monitor_add | ( | const char * | path | ) |
Adds a file/directory to monitor (inotify mechanism)
path | file/directory to monitor |
This function will add the given path to its internal list of files to monitor. It utilizes the inotify mechanism introduced in kernel 2.6.13 for passive monitoring.
Eio_Monitor* eio_monitor_stringshared_add | ( | const char * | path | ) |
Adds a file/directory to monitor.
path | file/directory to monitor |
This fuction is just like eio_monitor_add(), however the string passed by argument must be created using eina_stringshare_add().
void eio_monitor_del | ( | Eio_Monitor * | monitor | ) |
Deletes a path from the “watched” list.
monitor | The Eio_Monitor you want to stop watching. It can only be an Eio_Monitor returned to you from calling eio_monitor_add() or eio_monitor_stringshared_add() |
References EINA_REFCOUNT_UNREF.
const char* eio_monitor_path_get | ( | Eio_Monitor * | monitor | ) |
returns the path being watched by the given Eio_Monitor.
monitor | Eio_Monitor to return the path of |
monitor
int EIO_MONITOR_FILE_CLOSED |
A file was closed in a watched directory.
This event is never sent on Windows and OSX
int EIO_MONITOR_DIRECTORY_CLOSED |
A directory has been closed in a watched directory.
This event is never sent on Windows and OSX
int EIO_MONITOR_SELF_RENAME |
The monitored path has been renamed, an error could happen just after if the renamed path doesn't exist.
This event is never sent on OSX
int EIO_MONITOR_SELF_DELETED |
The monitored path has been removed.
This event is never sent on OSX
int EIO_MONITOR_ERROR |
During operation the monitor failed and will no longer work.
eio_monitor_del must be called on it.
