Classes

PyinotifyError
Indicates exceptions raised by a Pyinotify class.

UnsupportedPythonVersionError
Raised on unsupported Python versions.

InotifyBindingNotFoundError
Raised when no inotify support couldn't be found.

INotifyWrapper
Abstract class wrapping access to inotify's functions.

_INotifySyscallsWrapper

_CtypesLibcINotifyWrapper

ProcINotify
Access (read, write) inotify's variables through /proc/sys/.

EventsCodes
Set of codes corresponding to each kind of events.

_Event
Event structure, represent events raised by the system.

_RawEvent
Raw event, it contains only the informations provided by the system.

Event
This class contains all the useful informations about the observed event.

ProcessEventError
ProcessEventError Exception.

_ProcessEvent
Abstract processing event class.

_SysProcessEvent
There is three kind of processing according to each event:

ProcessEvent
Process events objects, can be specialized via subclassing, thus its behavior can be overriden:

PrintAllEvents
Dummy class used to print events strings representations.

ChainIfTrue
Makes conditional chaining depending on the result of the nested processing instance.

Stats
Compute and display trivial statistics about processed events.

NotifierError
Notifier Exception.

Notifier
Read notifications, process events.

ThreadedNotifier
This notifier inherits from threading.Thread for instanciating a separate thread, and also inherits from Notifier, because it is a threaded notifier.

AsyncNotifier
This notifier inherits from asyncore.file_dispatcher in order to be able to use pyinotify along with the asyncore framework.

TornadoAsyncNotifier
Tornado ioloop adapter.

AsyncioNotifier
asyncio/trollius event loop adapter.

Watch
Represent a watch, i.e.

ExcludeFilter
ExcludeFilter is an exclusion filter.

WatchManagerError
WatchManager Exception.

WatchManager
Provide operations for watching files and directories.

RawOutputFormat
Format string representations.

ColoredOutputFormat
Format colored string representations.

Functions

source code

command_line()
By default the watched path is '/tmp' and all types of events are monitored.

Function Details

compatibility_mode()

source code

Use this function to turn on the compatibility mode. The compatibility mode is used to improve compatibility with Pyinotify 0.7.1 (or older) programs. The compatibility mode provides additional variables 'is_dir', 'event_name', 'EventsCodes.IN_*' and 'EventsCodes.ALL_EVENTS' as Pyinotify 0.7.1 provided. Do not call this function from new programs!! Especially if there are developped for Pyinotify >= 0.8.x.

command_line()

source code

By default the watched path is '/tmp' and all types of events are monitored. Events monitoring serves forever, type c^c to stop it.
