270 Return a watch descriptor. The watch will look for ASPECT events and
271 invoke CALLBACK when an event occurs.
273 ASPECT might be one of the following symbols or a list of those symbols:
275 access
276 attrib
277 close-write
278 close-nowrite
279 create
280 delete
281 delete-self
282 modify
283 move-self
284 moved-from
285 moved-to
286 open
288 all-events or t
289 move
290 close
292 The following symbols can also be added to a list of aspects:
294 dont-follow
295 excl-unlink
296 mask-add
297 oneshot
298 onlydir
300 Watching a directory is not recursive. CALLBACK is passed a single argument
301 EVENT which contains an event structure of the format
303 (WATCH-DESCRIPTOR ASPECTS NAME COOKIE)
305 WATCH-DESCRIPTOR is the same object that was returned by this function. It can
306 be tested for equality using `equal'. ASPECTS describes the event. It is a
307 list of ASPECT symbols described above and can also contain one of the following
308 symbols
310 ignored
311 isdir
312 q-overflow
313 unmount
315 If a directory is watched then NAME is the name of file that caused the event.
317 COOKIE is an object that can be compared using `equal' to identify two matching
318 renames (moved-from and moved-to).
320 See inotify(7) and inotify_add_watch(2) for further information. The inotify fd
321 is managed internally and there is no corresponding inotify_init. Use
322 `inotify-rm-watch' to remove a watch.
