Pyinotify模块的小例子,实现文件系统监控。
Pyinotify是一个pythonmokuai/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>python模块,用来监测文件系统的变化。
Pyinotify依赖于linux内核的功能—inotify(内核2.6.13合并)。
inotify的是一个事件驱动的通知器,其通知接口通过三个系统调用从内核空间到用户空间。
有关inotify的内容,请参考:

rsync+inotify 文件同步配置实例
使用inotifywait实现目录监控
pyinotify结合这些系统调用,并提供一个顶级的抽象和一个通用的方式来处理这些功能。
pyinotify 说百了就是通过 调用系统的inotify来实现通知的
inotify 既可以监视文件,也可以监视目录
Inotify 使用系统调用而非 SIGIO 来通知文件系统事件。
Inotify 可以监视的文件系统事件包括:
Event Name Is an Event Description
IN_ACCESS Yes file was accessed.
IN_ATTRIB Yes metadata changed.
IN_CLOSE_NOWRITE Yes unwrittable file was closed.
IN_CLOSE_WRITE Yes writtable file was closed.
IN_CREATE Yes file/dir was created in watched directory.
IN_DELETE Yes file/dir was deleted in watched directory.
IN_DELETE_SELF Yes 自删除,即一个可执行文件在执行时删除自己
IN_DONT_FOLLOW No don’t follow a symlink (lk 2.6.15).
IN_IGNORED Yes raised on watched item removing. Probably useless for you, prefer instead IN_DELETE*.
IN_ISDIR No event occurred against directory. It is always piggybacked to an event. The Event structure automatically provide this information (via .is_dir)
IN_MASK_ADD No to update a mask without overwriting the previous value (lk 2.6.14). Useful when updating a watch.
IN_MODIFY Yes file was modified.
IN_MOVE_SELF Yes 自移动,即一个可执行文件在执行时移动自己
IN_MOVED_FROM Yes file/dir in a watched dir was moved from X. Can trace the full move of an item when IN_MOVED_TO is available too, in this case if the moved item is itself watched, its path will be updated (see IN_MOVE_SELF).
IN_MOVED_TO Yes file/dir was moved to Y in a watched dir (see IN_MOVE_FROM).
IN_ONLYDIR No only watch the path if it is a directory (lk 2.6.15). Usable when calling .add_watch.
IN_OPEN Yes file was opened.
IN_Q_OVERFLOW Yes event queued overflowed. This event doesn’t belongs to any particular watch.
IN_UNmount Yes 宿主文件系统被 umount
