inotify_rm_watch − remove an existing watch from an inotify instance
#include <sys/inotify.h>
int inotify_rm_watch(int fd, uint32_t wd);
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).)
On success, inotify_rm_watch() returns zero, or −1 if an error occurred (in which case, errno is set appropriately).
EBADF |
fd is not a valid file descriptor. | ||
EINVAL |
The watch descriptor wd is not valid; or fd is not an inotify file descriptor. |
Inotify was merged into the 2.6.13 Linux kernel.
This system call is Linux-specific.
