Functions

addWatch uint addWatch(char[] path, uint events): Manipulates the "watch list" associated with an inotify instance. Each item ("watch") in the watch list specifies the pathname of a file or directory, along with some set of events that the kernel should monitor for the file referred to by that pathname. Either creates a new watch item, or modifies an existing watch. Each watch has a unique "watch descriptor", which is returned by this function.
fileHandle Handle fileHandle(): Required by ISelectable interface.
readEvents EventsIterator readEvents(): Reads the events associated to the inotify file descriptor, and return in the form of iterator
rmWatch uint rmWatch(int wd): Removes the provided item from the inotify instance.

Inherited Members

From ISelectable

fileHandle Handle fileHandle(): Models a handle-oriented device.
