have_impl

Key is the directory to watch which contains one or more files we are interested in noticing changes to. Value is generation.


os: Os,
/// The number to show as the number of directories being watched.
dir_count: usize,
// These fields are common to most implementations so are kept here for simplicity.
// They are `undefined` on implementations which do not utilize then.
dir_table: DirTable,
generation: Generation,

hash()

Special key of "." means any changes in this directory trigger the steps.


pub const have_impl = Os != void;

eql()

Keyed differently but indexes correspond 1:1 with dir_table.

/// interested in noticing changes to.
///
/// Value is generation.
const DirTable = std.ArrayHashMapUnmanaged(Cache.Path, void, Cache.Path.TableAdapter, false);

init()

fanotify file descriptors are keyed by mount id since marks are limited to a single filesystem.

Match

Keyed differently but indexes correspond 1:1 with dir_table.


const Generation = u8;

Context

Start listening for events, buffer field will be overwritten eventually.


const Hash = std.hash.Wyhash;
const Cache = std.Build.Cache;

hash()

Indexes correspond 1:1 with dir_table.


const Os = switch (builtin.os.tag) {

eql()

If the corresponding dir_table Path has sub_path == "", then it suffices as the open directory handle, and this value will be -1. Otherwise, it needs to be opened in update(), and will be stored here.

update()

Relative to the watched directory, the file path that triggers this match.
