Method
GioFilemonitor_directory
Declaration
GFileMonitor*
g_file_monitor_directory (
GFile* file,
GFileMonitorFlags flags,
GCancellable* cancellable,
GError** error
)
Description
Obtains a directory monitor for the given file. This may fail if directory monitoring is not supported.
If cancellable
is not NULL
, then the operation can be cancelled by
triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation
was cancelled, the error G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED
will be returned.
It does not make sense for flags
to contain
G_FILE_MONITOR_WATCH_HARD_LINKS
, since hard links can not be made to
directories. It is not possible to monitor all the files in a
directory for changes made via hard links; if you want to do this then
you must register individual watches with g_file_monitor().
