NAME
inotify_rm_watch - remove an existing watch from an inotify instance
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/inotify.h>
int inotify_rm_watch(int
fd
, int
wd
);
DESCRIPTION
inotify_rm_watch() removes the watch associated with the watch descriptor
wd from the inotify instance associated with the file descriptor
fd.
Removing a watch causes an
IN_IGNORED event to be generated for this watch descriptor. (See
inotify(7).)
RETURN VALUE
On success,
inotify_rm_watch() returns zero, or -1 if an error occurred (in which case,
errno is set appropriately).
ERRORS
-
EBADF
-
fd is not a valid file descriptor.
-
EINVAL
-
The watch descriptor
wd is not valid; or
fd is not an inotify file descriptor.
VERSIONS
