242 Return a watch descriptor. The watch will look for ASPECT events and
243 invoke CALLBACK when an event occurs.
245 ASPECT might be one of the following symbols or a list of those symbols:
247 access
248 attrib
249 close-write
250 close-nowrite
251 create
252 delete
253 delete-self
254 modify
255 move-self
256 moved-from
257 moved-to
258 open
260 all-events or t
261 move
262 close
264 The following symbols can also be added to a list of aspects:
266 dont-follow
267 excl-unlink
268 mask-add
269 oneshot
270 onlydir
272 Watching a directory is not recursive. CALLBACK is passed a single argument
273 EVENT which contains an event structure of the format
275 (WATCH-DESCRIPTOR ASPECTS NAME COOKIE)
277 WATCH-DESCRIPTOR is the same object that was returned by this function. It can
278 be tested for equality using `equal'. ASPECTS describes the event. It is a
279 list of ASPECT symbols described above and can also contain one of the following
280 symbols
282 ignored
283 isdir
284 q-overflow
285 unmount
287 If a directory is watched then NAME is the name of file that caused the event.
289 COOKIE is an object that can be compared using `equal' to identify two matching
290 renames (moved-from and moved-to).
292 See inotify(7) and inotify_add_watch(2) for further information. The inotify fd
293 is managed internally and there is no corresponding inotify_init. Use
294 `inotify-rm-watch' to remove a watch.
