val create : ?modify_event_selector:[ `Any_change | `Closed_writable_fd ] -> ?recursive:bool -> ?watch_new_dirs:bool -> string -> (t * file_info list) Async.Deferred.t

create path create an inotify watching path. Returns the inotify type t itself and the list of files currently being watched. By default, recursively watches all subdirectories of the given path.

val stop : t -> unit Async.Deferred.t

stop t stop watching t

val add : t -> string -> unit Async.Deferred.t

add t path add the path to t to be watched

val add_all : ?skip_dir:((string * Async.Unix.Stats.t) -> bool Async.Deferred.t) -> t -> string -> file_info list Async.Deferred.t

add_all t path adds the path to t recursively

val remove : t -> string -> unit Async.Deferred.t

remove t path remove the path from t

val stream : t -> Event.t Async.Stream.t

stream t returns a stream of filesystem events

pipe t returns a pipe of filesystem events
