Class Event

This class contains all the useful informations about the observed event. However, the incorporation of each field is not guaranteed and depends on the type of event. In effect, some fields are irrelevant for some kind of event (for example 'cookie' is meaningless for IN_CREATE whereas it is useful for IN_MOVE_TO).

• wd (int): Watch Descriptor.
• mask (int): Mask.
• maskname (str): Readable event name.
• path (str): path of the file or directory being watched.
• name (str): Basename of the file or directory against which the event was raised, in case where the watched directory is the parent directory. None if the event was raised on the watched item itself. This field is always provided even if the string is ''.
• pathname (str): absolute path of: path + name
• cookie (int): Cookie.
• dir (bool): is the event raised against directory.
