Struct inotify::ffi::inotify_event

pub struct inotify_event {
    pub wd: c_int,
    pub mask: uint32_t,
    pub cookie: uint32_t,
    pub len: uint32_t,
}

Describes an event.

To determine what events have occurred, an application read(2)s from the inotify file descriptor. If no events have so far occurred, then, assuming a blocking file descriptor, read(2) will block until at least one event occurs (unless interrupted by a signal, in which case the call fails with the error EINTR; see signal(7)).

Each successful read(2) returns a buffer containing one or more of this structure.

Fields

wd	Identifies the watch for which this event occurs. It is one of the watch descriptors returned by a previous call to inotify_add_watch().
mask	Contains bits that describe the event that occurred.
cookie	A unique integer that connects related events. Currently used only for rename events. A related pair of IN_MOVED_FROM and IN_MOVED_TO events will have the same, non-zero, cookie. For all other events, cookie is 0.
len	The length of name. Used to determine the size of this structure. When name isn't present (name is only present when an event occurs for a file inside a watched directory), it is 0. When name is present, it counts all of name's bytes, including \0. The name field is present only when an event is returned for a file inside a watched directory; it identifies the file pathname relative to the watched directory. This pathname is null-terminated, and may include further null bytes ('\0') to align subsequent reads to a suitable address boundary. The name field must be ommited in this definition.
