An Lwt wrapper for Inotify module.

Note, whenever it is possible we provide two version of an operation:

Sourcetype t

Type of inotify descriptors.

Sourceval create : unit -> t Lwt.t

create () returns a new inotify descriptor.

Sourceval create' : unit -> t

Sourceval add_watch : t -> string -> Inotify.selector list -> Inotify.watch Lwt.t

add_watch desc path events sets up desc to watch for events occuring to path, and returns a watch descriptor.

Sourceval add_watch' : t -> string -> Inotify.selector list -> Inotify.watch

Sourceval rm_watch : t -> Inotify.watch -> unit Lwt.t

rm_watch desc watch stops desc from watching watch.

Sourceval rm_watch' : t -> Inotify.watch -> unit

Sourceval read : t -> Inotify.event Lwt.t

read desc waits for an event to occur at desc.

Sourceval try_read : t -> Inotify.event option Lwt.t

try_read desc returns Some event if desc has queued events, or None otherwise.

Sourceval close : t -> unit Lwt.t

close desc frees desc.
