32 * @short_description: File Monitor
33 * @include: gio/gio.h
35 * Monitors a file or directory for changes.
37 * To obtain a #GFileMonitor for a file or directory, use
38 * g_file_monitor(), g_file_monitor_file(), or
39 * g_file_monitor_directory().
41 * To get informed about changes to the file or directory you are
42 * monitoring, connect to the #GFileMonitor::changed signal. The
43 * signal will be emitted in the
44 * [thread-default main context][g-main-context-push-thread-default]
45 * of the thread that the monitor was created in
46 * (though if the global default main context is blocked, this may
47 * cause notifications to be blocked even if the thread-default
48 * context is still running).

147 * @other_file: (nullable): a #GFile or #NULL.
148 * @event_type: a #GFileMonitorEvent.
150 * Emitted when @file has been changed.
152 * If using %G_FILE_MONITOR_WATCH_MOVES on a directory monitor, and
153 * the information is available (and if supported by the backend),
154 * @event_type may be %G_FILE_MONITOR_EVENT_RENAMED,
155 * %G_FILE_MONITOR_EVENT_MOVED_IN or %G_FILE_MONITOR_EVENT_MOVED_OUT.
157 * In all cases @file will be a child of the monitored directory. For
158 * renames, @file will be the old name and @other_file is the new
159 * name. For "moved in" events, @file is the name of the file that
160 * appeared and @other_file is the old name that it was moved from (in
161 * another directory). For "moved out" events, @file is the name of
162 * the file that used to be in this directory and @other_file is the
163 * name of the file at its new location.
165 * It makes sense to treat %G_FILE_MONITOR_EVENT_MOVED_IN as
166 * equivalent to %G_FILE_MONITOR_EVENT_CREATED and
167 * %G_FILE_MONITOR_EVENT_MOVED_OUT as equivalent to
168 * %G_FILE_MONITOR_EVENT_DELETED, with extra information.
169 * %G_FILE_MONITOR_EVENT_RENAMED is equivalent to a delete/create
170 * pair. This is exactly how the events will be reported in the case
171 * that the %G_FILE_MONITOR_WATCH_MOVES flag is not in use.
173 * If using the deprecated flag %G_FILE_MONITOR_SEND_MOVED flag and @event_type is
174 * #G_FILE_MONITOR_EVENT_MOVED, @file will be set to a #GFile containing the
175 * old path, and @other_file will be set to a #GFile containing the new path.
177 * In all the other cases, @other_file will be set to #NULL.
