module INotify # Notifier wraps a single instance of inotify. # It's possible to have more than one instance, # but usually unnecessary. # # @example # # Create the notifier # notifier = INotify::Notifier.new # # # Run this callback whenever the file path/to/foo.txt is read # notifier.watch("path/to/foo.txt", :access) do # puts "Foo.txt was accessed!" # end # # # Watch for any file in the directory being deleted # # or moved out of the directory. # notifier.watch("path/to/directory", :delete, :moved_from) do |event| # # The #name field of the event object contains the name of the affected file # puts "#{event.name} is no longer in the directory!" # end # # # Nothing happens until you run the notifier! # notifier.run class Notifier # A hash from {Watcher} ids to the instances themselves. # # @private # @return [{Fixnum => Watcher}] attr_reader :watchers # The underlying file descriptor for this notifier. # This is a valid OS file descriptor, and can be used as such # (except under JRuby -- see \{#to\_io}). # # @return [Fixnum] attr_reader :fd # Creates a new {Notifier}. # # @return [Notifier] # @raise [SystemCallError] if inotify failed to initialize for some reason def initialize @fd = Native.inotify_init @watchers = {} return unless @fd < 0 raise SystemCallError.new( "Failed to initialize inotify" + case FFI.errno when Errno::EMFILE::Errno; ": the user limit on the total number of inotify instances has been reached." when Errno::ENFILE::Errno; ": the system limit on the total number of file descriptors has been reached." when Errno::ENOMEM::Errno; ": insufficient kernel memory is available." else; "" end, FFI.errno) end # Returns a Ruby IO object wrapping the underlying file descriptor. # Since this file descriptor is fully functional (except under JRuby), # this IO object can be used in any way a Ruby-created IO object can. # This includes passing it to functions like `#select`. # # Note that this always returns the same IO object. # Creating lots of IO objects for the same file descriptor # can cause some odd problems. # # **This is not supported under JRuby**. # JRuby currently doesn't use native file descriptors for the IO object, # so we can't use this file descriptor as a stand-in. # # @return [IO] An IO object wrapping the file descriptor # @raise [NotImplementedError] if this is being called in JRuby def to_io raise NotImplementedError.new("INotify::Notifier#to_io is not supported under JRuby") if RUBY_PLATFORM =~ /java/ @io ||= IO.new(@fd) end # Watches a file or directory for changes, # calling the callback when there are. # This is only activated once \{#process} or \{#run} is called. # # **Note that by default, this does not recursively watch subdirectories # of the watched directory**. # To do so, use the `:recursive` flag. # # ## Flags # # `:access` # : A file is accessed (that is, read). # # `:attrib` # : A file's metadata is changed (e.g. permissions, timestamps, etc). # # `:close_write` # : A file that was opened for writing is closed. # # `:close_nowrite` # : A file that was not opened for writing is closed. # # `:modify` # : A file is modified. # # `:open` # : A file is opened. # # ### Directory-Specific Flags # # These flags only apply when a directory is being watched. # # `:moved_from` # : A file is moved out of the watched directory. # # `:moved_to` # : A file is moved into the watched directory. # # `:create` # : A file is created in the watched directory. # # `:delete` # : A file is deleted in the watched directory. # # `:delete_self` # : The watched file or directory itself is deleted. # # `:move_self` # : The watched file or directory itself is moved. # # ### Helper Flags # # These flags are just combinations of the flags above. # # `:close` # : Either `:close_write` or `:close_nowrite` is activated. # # `:move` # : Either `:moved_from` or `:moved_to` is activated. # # `:all_events` # : Any event above is activated. # # ### Options Flags # # These flags don't actually specify events. # Instead, they specify options for the watcher. # # `:onlydir` # : Only watch the path if it's a directory. # # `:dont_follow` # : Don't follow symlinks. # # `:mask_add` # : Add these flags to the pre-existing flags for this path. # # `:oneshot` # : Only send the event once, then shut down the watcher. # # `:recursive` # : Recursively watch any subdirectories that are created. # Note that this is a feature of rb-inotify, # rather than of inotify itself, which can only watch one level of a directory. # This means that the {Event#name} field # will contain only the basename of the modified file. # When using `:recursive`, {Event#absolute_name} should always be used. # # @param path [String] The path to the file or directory # @param flags [Array] Which events to watch for # @yield [event] A block that will be called # whenever one of the specified events occur # @yieldparam event [Event] The Event object containing information # about the event that occured # @return [Watcher] A Watcher set up to watch this path for these events # @raise [SystemCallError] if the file or directory can't be watched, # e.g. if the file isn't found, read access is denied, # or the flags don't contain any events def watch(path, *flags, &callback) return Watcher.new(self, path, *flags, &callback) unless flags.include?(:recursive) Dir[File.join(path, '*/')].each {|d| watch(d, *flags, &callback)} rec_flags = [:create, :moved_to] return watch(path, *((flags - [:recursive]) | rec_flags)) do |event| callback.call(event) unless (flags & event.flags).empty? next if (rec_flags & event.flags).empty? || !event.flags.include?(:isdir) watch(event.absolute_name, *flags, &callback) end end # Starts the notifier watching for filesystem events. # Blocks forever and never returns. # # @see #process def run @stop = false process until @stop end # Stop watching for filesystem events. # That is, if we're in a \{#run} loop, # exit out as soon as we finish handling the events. def stop @stop = true end # Blocks until there are one or more filesystem events # that this notifier has watchers registered for. # Once there are events, the appropriate callbacks are called # and this function returns. # # @see #run def process read_events.each {|event| event.callback!} end # Blocks until there are one or more filesystem events # that this notifier has watchers registered for. # Once there are events, returns their {Event} objects. # # @private def read_events size = 64 * Native::Event.size tries = 1 begin data = readpartial(size) rescue SystemCallError => er # EINVAL means that there's more data to be read # than will fit in the buffer size raise er unless er.errno == EINVAL || tries == 5 size *= 2 tries += 1 retry end events = [] cookies = {} while ev = Event.consume(data, self) events << ev next if ev.cookie == 0 cookies[ev.cookie] ||= [] cookies[ev.cookie] << ev end cookies.each {|c, evs| evs.each {|ev| ev.related.replace(evs - [ev]).freeze}} events end private # Same as IO#readpartial, or as close as we need. def readpartial(size) buffer = FFI::MemoryPointer.new(:char, size) size_read = Native.read(fd, buffer, size) return buffer.read_string(size_read) if size_read >= 0 raise SystemCallError.new("Error reading inotify events" + case FFI.errno when Errno::EAGAIN::Errno; ": no data available for non-blocking I/O" when Errno::EBADF::Errno; ": invalid or closed file descriptor" when Errno::EFAULT::Errno; ": invalid buffer" when Errno::EINVAL::Errno; ": invalid file descriptor" when Errno::EIO::Errno; ": I/O error" when Errno::EISDIR::Errno; ": file descriptor is a directory" else; "" end, FFI.errno) end end end
