The API is based on [this design document](http://goo.gl/MrYxyA). - -All [releases](https://github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify/releases) are tagged based on [Semantic Versioning](http://semver.org/). Further API changes are [planned](https://github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify/milestones), and will be tagged with a new major revision number. - -Go 1.6 supports dependencies located in the `vendor/` folder. Unless you are creating a library, it is recommended that you copy fsnotify into `vendor/github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify` within your project, and likewise for `golang.org/x/sys`. - -## Usage - -```go -package main - -import ( - "log" - - "github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify" -) - -func main() { - watcher, err := fsnotify.NewWatcher() - if err != nil { - log.Fatal(err) - } - defer watcher.Close() - - done := make(chan bool) - go func() { - for { - select { - case event, ok := <-watcher.Events: - if !ok { - return - } - log.Println("event:", event) - if event.Op&fsnotify.Write == fsnotify.Write { - log.Println("modified file:", event.Name) - } - case err, ok := <-watcher.Errors: - if !ok { - return - } - log.Println("error:", err) - } - } - }() - - err = watcher.Add("/tmp/foo") - if err != nil { - log.Fatal(err) - } - <-done -} +``` +git remote prune origin ``` -## Contributing +## Background -Please refer to [CONTRIBUTING][] before opening an issue or pull request. +The `master` branch was renamed to `main`, causing an issue with +Yocto/OpenEmbedded's meta-virtualization layer, which explicitly refers +to `master` branch of this repository (see #426). -## Example - -See [example_test.go](https://github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify/blob/master/example_test.go). - -## FAQ - -**When a file is moved to another directory is it still being watched?** - -No (it shouldn't be, unless you are watching where it was moved to). - -**When I watch a directory, are all subdirectories watched as well?** - -No, you must add watches for any directory you want to watch (a recursive watcher is on the roadmap [#18][]). - -**Do I have to watch the Error and Event channels in a separate goroutine?** - -As of now, yes. Looking into making this single-thread friendly (see [howeyc #7][#7]) - -**Why am I receiving multiple events for the same file on OS X?** - -Spotlight indexing on OS X can result in multiple events (see [howeyc #62][#62]). A temporary workaround is to add your folder(s) to the *Spotlight Privacy settings* until we have a native FSEvents implementation (see [#11][]). - -**How many files can be watched at once?** - -There are OS-specific limits as to how many watches can be created: -* Linux: /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches contains the limit, reaching this limit results in a "no space left on device" error. -* BSD / OSX: sysctl variables "kern.maxfiles" and "kern.maxfilesperproc", reaching these limits results in a "too many open files" error. - -**Why don't notifications work with NFS filesystems or filesystem in userspace (FUSE)?** - -fsnotify requires support from underlying OS to work. The current NFS protocol does not provide network level support for file notifications. - -[#62]: https://github.com/howeyc/fsnotify/issues/62 -[#18]: https://github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify/issues/18 -[#11]: https://github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify/issues/11 -[#7]: https://github.com/howeyc/fsnotify/issues/7 - -[contributing]: https://github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md - -## Related Projects - -* [notify](https://github.com/rjeczalik/notify) -* [fsevents](https://github.com/fsnotify/fsevents) - +This temporary branch is created to alleviate the Yocto/OE issue.
