hinotify: inotify for Haskell
=============================
[](https://github.com/haskell-fswatch/hinotify/actions/workflows/ci.yml)
About
-----
This package provides bindings to [inotify](http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/rml/inotify/), which has been part of the Linux kernel since 2.6.13.
The `inotify` subsystem provides file system event notifications. Simply add a watcher to a file or directory and you get events when it is accessed, modified, etc.
News
----
See [CHANGELOG.md](./CHANGELOG.md).
API
---
The API basically consists of:
```haskell
initINotify :: IO INotify
addWatch :: INotify
-> [EventVariety] -- different events to listen on
-> RawFilePath -- file/directory to watch
-> (Event -> IO ()) -- event handler callback
-> IO WatchDescriptor
removeWatch :: WatchDescriptor -> IO ()
```
See this [example](./examples/simple/simple.hs) or the [docs](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/hinotify/docs/System-INotify.html).
