A `GenServer` process to watch file system changes.
|
||

|
|
||
|
|
The process receives data from Port, parse event, and send it to the worker
|

|
|
process.

Starts a `GenServer` process and linked to the current process.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Options
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `:dirs` ([string], required), the list of directory to monitor.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `:backend` (atom, optional), default backends: `:fs_mac`. Available
|
||
|
|
backends: `:fs_mac`, `:fs_inotify`, and `:fs_windows`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `:name` (atom, optional), the `name` of the worker process to subscribe
|
||
|
|
to the file system listerner. Alternative to using `pid` of the worker
|
||
|
|
process.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Additional backend implementation options. See backend module documents
|
||
|
|
for more details.

## Examples
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Start monitoring `/tmp/fs` directory using the default `:fs_mac` backend of
|
||
|
|
the current process:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
iex> {:ok, pid} = FileSystem.start_link(dirs: ["/tmp/fs"])
|
||
|
|
iex> FileSystem.subscribe(pid)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Get instant (`latench: 0`) notifications on file changes:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
iex> FileSystem.start_link(dirs: ["/path/to/some/files"], latency: 0)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Minitor a directory by a process name:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
iex> FileSystem.start_link(backend: :fs_mac, dirs: ["/tmp/fs"], name: :worker)
|
||
|
|
iex> FileSystem.subscribe(:worker)
