inotify-win
===========
A port of the **inotifywait** tool for Windows, see https://github.com/rvoicilas/inotify-tools
Compiling
=========
If you have Cygwin installed, just run `make` in this directory. This will create the executable, `inotifywait.exe`.
Manual complilation goes as follows:
```sh
$ %WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\csc.exe /o /t:exe /out:inotifywait.exe src\*.cs
```
Usage
=====
The command line arguments are similar to the original one's:
```sh
$ inotifywait.exe
Usage: inotifywait [options] path [...]
Options:
-r/--recursive: Recursively watch all files and subdirectories inside path
-m/--monitor: Keep running until killed (e.g. via Ctrl+C)
-q/--quiet: Do not output information about actions
-e/--event list: Events (create, modify, delete, move) to watch, comma-separated. Default: all
--format format: Format string for output.
--exclude: Do not process any events whose filename matches the specified regex
--excludei: Ditto, case-insensitive
--include: Only process events whose filename matches the specified regex
--includei: Ditto, case-insensitive
Formats:
%e : Event name
%f : File name
%w : Path name
%T : Current date and time
```
Known issues
------------
When moving files, not all events are reported consistently with the original. See [issue #7](https://github.com/thekid/inotify-win/issues/7) for an explanation. **Pull requests welcome!**
