Instance Method Details
#file_deleted ⇒ Object
On Linux (with inotify), this method will not be called until all open file descriptors to the file have been closed.
Will be called when the file is deleted. Supposed to be redefined by subclasses. When the file is deleted, stop_watching will be called after this to make sure everything is cleaned up correctly.

#path ⇒ String
Current implementation does not pick up on the new filename after a rename occurs.
Returns the path that is being monitored.

# File 'lib/em/file_watch.rb', line 38 def path @path end |
#stop_watching ⇒ Object
Discontinue monitoring of the file.
This involves cleaning up the underlying monitoring details with kqueue/inotify, and in turn firing Connection#unbind. This will be called automatically when a file is deleted. User code may call it as well.
