fswAddPath()
The functions add a path for monitoring to the FileSystemWatcher.
Synopsis
int fswAddPath(string path);
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| path | Path to be monitored |
Return value
Returns 0 if the path was successfully added for monitoring and .1 in case of an error.
Error
Possible errors are:
- Path/file does not exist
- Maximum amount of files that can be monitored was reached (OS dependent)
Description
The function adds a new path for monitoring to the FileSystemWatcher. The path is not added if it does not exist or is already part of the monitored paths.
Depending on the operating system the maximum number of simultaneously monitored paths can be limited. If a limit is reached no new paths can be added and the function returns an error.
It must be noted that the limit of the maximum number of files is also reduced by file handles opened in the background by the running process.
To react to changes to the registered paths the function sysConnect() provides the "fswPathChanged" event.
Example
main()
{
fswAddPath("/tmp");
fswAddPath("/someDir/someFile");
sysConnect("pathChanged", "fswPathChanged");
}
pathChanged(string eventName, string path)
{
DebugN(__FUNCTION__, path);
