twisted.python._inotify : API documentation

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

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

Class	INotifyError	Unify all the possible exceptions that can be raised by the INotify API.
Function	init	Create an inotify instance and return the associated file descriptor.
Function	add	Add a watch for the given path to the inotify file descriptor, and return the watch descriptor.
Function	remove	Remove the given watch descriptor from the inotify file descriptor.
Function	initializeModule	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`.

def init(): (source)

Create an inotify instance and return the associated file descriptor.

def add(fd, path, mask): (source)

Add a watch for the given path to the inotify file descriptor, and return the watch descriptor.

def remove(fd, wd): (source)

Remove the given watch descriptor from the inotify file descriptor.

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.
