Struct inotify::WatchMask

pub struct WatchMask(/* private fields */);

Describes a file system watch

Passed to Watches::add, to describe what file system events to watch for, and how to do that.

Examples

WatchMask constants can be passed to Watches::add as is. For example, here’s how to create a watch that triggers an event when a file is accessed:

inotify.watches().add("/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.watches().add("/tmp/", WatchMask::CREATE | WatchMask::DELETE)
   .expect("Error adding watch");

Implementations

impl WatchMask

pub const ACCESS: Self = _

File was accessed

When watching a directory, this event is only triggered for objects inside the directory, not the directory itself.

See inotify_sys::IN_ACCESS.

pub const ATTRIB: Self = _

Metadata (permissions, timestamps, …) changed

When watching a directory, this event can be triggered for the directory itself, as well as objects inside the directory.

See inotify_sys::IN_ATTRIB.

pub const CLOSE_WRITE: Self = _

File opened for writing was closed

When watching a directory, this event is only triggered for objects inside the directory, not the directory itself.

See inotify_sys::IN_CLOSE_WRITE.

pub const CLOSE_NOWRITE: Self = _

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.

See inotify_sys::IN_CLOSE_NOWRITE.

pub const CREATE: Self = _

File/directory created in watched directory

When watching a directory, this event is only triggered for objects inside the directory, not the directory itself.

See inotify_sys::IN_CREATE.

pub const DELETE: Self = _

File/directory deleted from watched directory

When watching a directory, this event is only triggered for objects inside the directory, not the directory itself.

See inotify_sys::IN_DELETE.

pub const DELETE_SELF: Self = _

Watched file/directory was deleted

See inotify_sys::IN_DELETE_SELF.

pub const MODIFY: Self = _

File was modified

When watching a directory, this event is only triggered for objects inside the directory, not the directory itself.

See inotify_sys::IN_MODIFY.

pub const MOVE_SELF: Self = _

Watched file/directory was moved

See inotify_sys::IN_MOVE_SELF.

pub const MOVED_FROM: Self = _

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.

See inotify_sys::IN_MOVED_FROM.

pub const MOVED_TO: Self = _

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.

See inotify_sys::IN_MOVED_TO.

pub const OPEN: Self = _

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.

pub const ALL_EVENTS: Self = _

Watch for all events

This constant is simply a convenient combination of the following other constants:

• ACCESS
• ATTRIB
• CLOSE_WRITE
• CLOSE_NOWRITE
• CREATE
• DELETE
• DELETE_SELF
• MODIFY
• MOVE_SELF
• MOVED_FROM
• MOVED_TO
• OPEN

See inotify_sys::IN_ALL_EVENTS.

pub const MOVE: Self = _

Watch for all move events

This constant is simply a convenient combination of the following other constants:

• MOVED_FROM
• MOVED_TO

See inotify_sys::IN_MOVE.

pub const CLOSE: Self = _

Watch for all close events

This constant is simply a convenient combination of the following other constants:

• CLOSE_WRITE
• CLOSE_NOWRITE

See inotify_sys::IN_CLOSE.

pub const DONT_FOLLOW: Self = _

Don’t dereference the path if it is a symbolic link

See inotify_sys::IN_DONT_FOLLOW.

pub const EXCL_UNLINK: Self = _

Filter events for directory entries that have been unlinked

See inotify_sys::IN_EXCL_UNLINK.

pub const MASK_ADD: Self = _

If a watch for the inode exists, amend it instead of replacing it

See inotify_sys::IN_MASK_ADD.

pub const ONESHOT: Self = _

Only receive one event, then remove the watch

See inotify_sys::IN_ONESHOT.

pub const ONLYDIR: Self = _

Only watch path, if it is a directory

See inotify_sys::IN_ONLYDIR.

This method is like iter, except only yields bits in contained named flags. Any unknown bits, or bits not corresponding to a contained flag will not be yielded.

impl WatchMask

pub unsafe fn from_bits_unchecked(bits: u32) -> Self

👎Deprecated: Use the safe from_bits_retain method instead

Wrapper around Self::from_bits_retain for backwards compatibility

Safety

This function is not actually unsafe. It is just a wrapper around the safe Self::from_bits_retain.
