Types

type Listener

type Listener struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Listener contains all member variables required for the state of a running file listener.

func Create

func Create(directory filename.System, fileChannel chan<- filename.System) (*Listener, error)

Create and set up an inotify watcher on the directory and its subdirectories. File events will be converted into `tarcache.LocalDataFile` structs and pointers to those structs will sent to the passed-in channel.

func (*Listener) ListenForever

func (l *Listener) ListenForever(ctx context.Context)

ListenForever listens for listen for FS events and sends them along the fileChannel until Stop is called.
