Very low-level ctypes-based interface to Linux inotify(7).

ctypes and a version of libc which supports inotify system calls are required.

Class ​INotify​Error Unify all the possible exceptions that can be raised by the INotify API.
Function add Add a watch for the given path to the inotify file descriptor, and return the watch descriptor.
Function init Create an inotify instance and return the associated file descriptor.
Function initialize​Module Initialize the module, checking if the expected APIs exist and setting the argtypes and restype for inotify_init, inotify_add_watch, and inotify_rm_watch.
Function remove Remove the given watch descriptor from the inotify file descriptor.
Variable libc Undocumented
Variable name Undocumented
def add(fd, path, mask): (source)
Add a watch for the given path to the inotify file descriptor, and return the watch descriptor.
Parameters
fd:intThe file descriptor returned by libc.inotify_init.
path:FilePathThe path to watch via inotify.
mask:intBitmask specifying the events that inotify should monitor.
Returns
intUndocumented
def init(): (source)
Create an inotify instance and return the associated file descriptor.
Returns
intUndocumented
def initializeModule(libc): (source)
Initialize the module, checking if the expected APIs exist and setting the argtypes and restype for inotify_init, inotify_add_watch, and inotify_rm_watch.
