API provides a mechanism for monitoring filesystem events.
|
2006-02-08 04:13:22 +00:00
|
|
|
Inotify can be used to monitor individual files,
|
|
|
|
or to monitor directories.
|
|
|
|
When a directory is monitored, inotify will return events
|
|
|
|
for the directory itself, and for files inside the directory.

manipulates the "watch list" associated with an inotify instance.
|
2006-02-10 05:25:30 +00:00
|
|
|
Each item ("watch") in the watch list specifies the pathname of
|
2007-04-12 22:42:49 +00:00
|
|
|
a file or directory,
|
2006-02-08 04:13:22 +00:00

|
|
along with some set of events that the kernel should monitor for the
|
|
|
|
file referred to by that pathname.

|
|
|
.BR inotify_add_watch (2)
|
2006-02-08 04:13:22 +00:00
|
|
|
either creates a new watch item, or modifies an existing watch.
|
|
|

Each watch has a unique "watch descriptor", an integer

With careful programming,
|
|
|
|
an application can use inotify to efficiently monitor and cache
|
|
|
|
the state of a set of filesystem objects.
|
|
|
|
However, robust applications should allow for the fact that bugs
|
|
|
|
in the monitoring logic or races of the kind described below
|
|
|
|
may leave the cache inconsistent with the filesystem state.
|
2015-03-15 01:13:00 +00:00
|
|
|
It is probably wise to do some consistency checking,
|
2014-04-03 06:18:36 +00:00
|
|
|
and rebuild the cache when inconsistencies are detected.

.SS Reading events from an inotify file descriptor

To determine what events have occurred, an application
|

|
|
|
|

|
2007-04-12 22:42:49 +00:00

|
|
If no events have so far occurred, then,
|
2006-03-01 23:13:12 +00:00
|

|
assuming a blocking file descriptor,

Quoting Branden:
*roff escape sequences may sometimes look like C escapes, but that
is misleading. *roff is in part a macro language and that means
recursive expansion to arbitrary depths.
You can get away with "\\" in a context where no macro expansion
is taking place, but try to spell a literal backslash this way in
the argument to a macro and you will likely be unhappy with
results.
Try viewing the attached file with "man -l".
"\e" is the preferred and portable way to get a portable "escape
literal" going back to CSTR #54, the original Bell Labs troff
paper.
groff(7) discusses the issue:
\\ reduces to a single backslash; useful to delay its
interpretation as escape character in copy mode. For a
printable backslash, use \e, or even better \[rs], to be
independent from the current escape character.
As of groff 1.22.4, groff_man(7) does as well:
\e Widely used in man pages to represent a backslash output
glyph. It works reliably as long as the .ec request is
not used, which should never happen in man pages, and it
is slightly more portable than the more exact ‘\(rs’
(“reverse solidus”) escape sequence.
People not concerned with portability to extremely old troffs should
probably just use \(rs (or \[rs]), as it means "the backslash
glyph", not "the glyph corresponding to whatever the current escape
character is".

|
|
|
|
By default, when watching events on the children of a directory,
|
|
|
|
events are generated for children even after they have been unlinked
|
|
|
|
from the directory.
|
|
|
|
This can result in large numbers of uninteresting events for
|
|
|
|
some applications (e.g., if watching
|
|
|
|
.IR /tmp ,
|
|
|
|
in which many applications create temporary files whose
|
|
|
|
names are immediately unlinked).

.SS Limitations and caveats
|
2014-04-02 12:06:16 +00:00
|
|
|
The inotify API provides no information about the user or process that
|
|
|
|
triggered the inotify event.
|
|
|
|
In particular, there is no easy
|
|
|
|
way for a process that is monitoring events via inotify
|
|
|
|
to distinguish events that it triggers
|
|
|
|
itself from those that are triggered by other processes.

Inotify reports only events that a user-space program triggers through
|
|
|
|
the filesystem API.
|
|
|
|
As a result, it does not catch remote events that occur
|
|
|
|
on network filesystems.
|
|
|
|
(Applications must fall back to polling the filesystem
|
|
|
|
to catch such events.)
|
2014-04-06 06:47:56 +00:00
|
|
|
Furthermore, various pseudo-filesystems such as

are not monitorable with inotify.

Heuristic approaches (e.g., assume the events are always consecutive)
|
|
|
|
can be used to ensure a match in most cases,
|
|
|
|
but will inevitably miss some cases,
|
|
|
|
causing the application to perceive the
|
|
|
|
.B IN_MOVED_FROM
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
.B IN_MOVED_TO
|
|
|
|
events as being unrelated.
|
|
|
|
If watch descriptors are destroyed and re-created as a result,
|
|
|
|
then those watch descriptors will be inconsistent with
|
|
|
|
the watch descriptors in any pending events.

2014-04-03 06:19:49 +00:00

(Re-creating the inotify file descriptor and rebuilding the cache may

2014-04-02 12:02:44 +00:00
|
|
|
be useful to deal with this scenario.)

When a watch descriptor is removed by calling
|
2014-06-23 07:43:46 +00:00
|
|
|
.BR inotify_rm_watch (2)
|
|
|
|
(or because a watch file is deleted or the filesystem
|
|
|
|
that contains it is unmounted),
|
2014-06-22 14:45:23 +00:00
|
|
|
any pending unread events for that watch descriptor remain available to read.
|
|
|
|
As watch descriptors are subsequently allocated with
|
|
|
|
.BR inotify_add_watch (2),
|
|
|
|
the kernel cycles through the range of possible watch descriptors (0 to
|
|
|
|
.BR INT_MAX )
|
|
|
|
incrementally.
|
|
|
|
When allocating a free watch descriptor, no check is made to see whether that
|
|
|
|
watch descriptor number has any pending unread events in the inotify queue.
|
|
|
|
Thus, it can happen that a watch descriptor is reallocated even
|
|
|
|
when pending unread events exist for a previous incarnation of
|
|
|
|
that watch descriptor number, with the result that the application
|
2014-07-08 14:36:37 +00:00
|
|
|
might then read those events and interpret them as belonging to
|
2014-06-22 14:45:23 +00:00
|
|
|
the file associated with the newly recycled watch descriptor.
|
2014-06-23 08:19:54 +00:00
|
|
|
In practice, the likelihood of hitting this bug may be extremely low,
|
|
|
|
since it requires that an application cycle through
|
|
|
|
.B INT_MAX
|
|
|
|
watch descriptors,
|
|
|
|
release a watch descriptor while leaving unread events for that
|
2014-09-10 14:25:26 +00:00
|
|
|
watch descriptor in the queue,
|
2014-06-23 08:19:54 +00:00
|
|
|
and then recycle that watch descriptor.
|
|
|
|
For this reason, and because there have been no reports
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
The following program demonstrates the usage of the inotify API.
|
|
|
|
It marks the directories passed as a command-line arguments
|
|
|
|
and waits for events of type
|
|
|
|
.BR IN_OPEN ,
|
2014-05-28 14:00:50 +00:00
|
|
|
.BR IN_CLOSE_NOWRITE

2014-05-24 20:02:13 +00:00
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
.BR IN_CLOSE_WRITE .
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
The following output was recorded while editing the file
|
|
|
|
.I /home/user/temp/foo
|
|
|
|
and listing directory
|
|
|
|
.IR /tmp .
|
|
|
|
Before the file and the directory were opened,
|
|
|
|
.B IN_OPEN
|
|
|
|
events occurred.
|
|
|
|
After the file was closed, an
|
|
|
|
.B IN_CLOSE_WRITE
|
|
|
|
event occurred.
|
|
|
|
After the directory was closed, an
|
|
|
|
.B IN_CLOSE_NOWRITE
|
|
|
|
event occurred.
|
|
|
|
Execution of the program ended when the user pressed the ENTER key.

Quoting Branden:
*roff escape sequences may sometimes look like C escapes, but that
is misleading. *roff is in part a macro language and that means
recursive expansion to arbitrary depths.
You can get away with "\\" in a context where no macro expansion
is taking place, but try to spell a literal backslash this way in
the argument to a macro and you will likely be unhappy with
results.
Try viewing the attached file with "man -l".
"\e" is the preferred and portable way to get a portable "escape
literal" going back to CSTR #54, the original Bell Labs troff
paper.
groff(7) discusses the issue:
\\ reduces to a single backslash; useful to delay its
interpretation as escape character in copy mode. For a
printable backslash, use \e, or even better \[rs], to be
independent from the current escape character.
As of groff 1.22.4, groff_man(7) does as well:
\e Widely used in man pages to represent a backslash output
glyph. It works reliably as long as the .ec request is
not used, which should never happen in man pages, and it
is slightly more portable than the more exact ‘\(rs’
(“reverse solidus”) escape sequence.
People not concerned with portability to extremely old troffs should
probably just use \(rs (or \[rs]), as it means "the backslash
glyph", not "the glyph corresponding to whatever the current escape
character is".
