inotify_add_watch


Description:

[ Version ( since = "1.0.66" ) ]
public int64 inotify_add_watch (string path, int32 mask) throws Error

add an inotify watch

Watch path for the events listed in mask.

Note that if path is a directory then events within that directory are watched, but this does *not* happen recursively (in subdirectories).

Note for non-C or non-Linux callers: the inotify events are defined by the Linux kernel ABI and are listed in /usr/include/sys/inotify.h.

This function depends on the feature "inotify". See also feature_available.

Parameters:

this

A GuestfsSession object

Returns:

the returned value, or -1 on error
