Struct inotify::WatchMask [−][src]
pub struct WatchMask { /* fields omitted */ }Expand description
Describes a file system watch
Passed to Inotify::add_watch, to describe what file system events
to watch for, and how to do that.
Examples
WatchMask constants can be passed to Inotify::add_watch as is. For
example, here’s how to create a watch that triggers an event when a file
is accessed:
inotify.add_watch("/tmp/inotify-rs-test-file", WatchMask::ACCESS)
.expect("Error adding watch");You can also combine multiple WatchMask constants. Here we add a watch
this is triggered both when files are created or deleted in a directory:
inotify.add_watch("/tmp/", WatchMask::CREATE | WatchMask::DELETE)
.expect("Error adding watch");Implementations
File was accessed
When watching a directory, this event is only triggered for objects inside the directory, not the directory itself.
Metadata (permissions, timestamps, …) changed
When watching a directory, this event can be triggered for the directory itself, as well as objects inside the directory.
File opened for writing was closed
When watching a directory, this event is only triggered for objects inside the directory, not the directory itself.
File or directory not opened for writing was closed
When watching a directory, this event can be triggered for the directory itself, as well as objects inside the directory.
File/directory created in watched directory
When watching a directory, this event is only triggered for objects inside the directory, not the directory itself.
File/directory deleted from watched directory
When watching a directory, this event is only triggered for objects inside the directory, not the directory itself.
Watched file/directory was deleted
File was modified
When watching a directory, this event is only triggered for objects inside the directory, not the directory itself.
Watched file/directory was moved
File was renamed/moved; watched directory contained old name
When watching a directory, this event is only triggered for objects inside the directory, not the directory itself.
File was renamed/moved; watched directory contains new name
When watching a directory, this event is only triggered for objects inside the directory, not the directory itself.
File or directory was opened
When watching a directory, this event can be triggered for the directory itself, as well as objects inside the directory.
See inotify_sys::IN_OPEN.
Watch for all events
This constant is simply a convenient combination of the following other constants:
Watch for all move events
This constant is simply a convenient combination of the following other constants:
See inotify_sys::IN_MOVE.
Watch for all close events
This constant is simply a convenient combination of the following other constants:
Don’t dereference the path if it is a symbolic link
Filter events for directory entries that have been unlinked
If a watch for the inode exists, amend it instead of replacing it
Only receive one event, then remove the watch
Only watch path, if it is a directory
Convert from underlying bit representation, unless that representation contains bits that do not correspond to a flag.
Convert from underlying bit representation, dropping any bits that do not correspond to flags.
Convert from underlying bit representation, preserving all bits (even those not corresponding to a defined flag).
Returns true if there are flags common to both self and other.
Returns true all of the flags in other are contained within self.
