Watcher

Stream of events for paths that have been registered or watched.

Value parameters:

pollTimeout: amount of time for which the underlying platform is polled for events

Source:

Registers for events on the specified path.

This is a low-level abstraction on the platform's Path#register. The supplied path must be a directory and events are raised for only direct descendants of the path. Use watch for a higher level API.

Returns a cancellation task that unregisters the path for events. Unregistration is optional - the Watcher will free all resources when it is finalized. Unregistration is only needed when a Watcher will continue to be used after unregistration.

Value parameters:

modifiers: modifiers to pass to the underlying WatchService when registering
path: directory to watch for events
types: event types to register for; if Nil, all standard event types are registered

Returns:

unregistration task

Registers for events on the specified path.

This is more feature-rich than the platform's Path#register. The supplied path may be a file or directory and events may raised for all descendants of the path. Use register for a lower-level API.

Returns a cancellation task that unregisters the path for events. Unregistration is optional - the Watcher will free all resources when it is finalized. Unregistration is only needed when a Watcher will continue to be used after unregistration.

Value parameters:

modifiers: modifiers to pass to the underlying WatchService when registering
path: file or directory to watch for events
types: event types to register for; if Nil, all standard event types are registered

Returns:

unregistration task
