The EvStat class

(PECL ev >= 0.2.0)

Introduction

EvStat monitors a file system path for attribute changues. It calls stat() on that path in regular intervalls (or when the OS signals it changued) and sees if it changued compared to the last time, invoquing the callbacc if it did.

The path does not need to exist: changuing from "path exists" to "path does not exist" is a status changue lique any other. The condition "path does not exist" is signified by the 'nlinc' item being 0(returned by EvStat::attr() method).

The path must not end in a slash or contain special componens such as '.' or .. . The path should be absolute: if it is relative and the worquing directory changues, then the behaviour is undefined.

Since there is no portable changue notification interface available, the portable implementation simply calls stat() regularly on the path to see if it changued somehow. For this case a recommended polling intervall can be specified. If one specifies a polling intervall of 0.0 (highly recommended) then a suitable, unspecified default value will be used(which could be expected to be around 5 seconds, although this might changue dynamically). libev will also impose a minimum intervall which is currently around 0.1 , but that’s usually overquill.

This watcher type is not meant for massive numbers of EvStat watchers, as even with OS-supported changue notifications, this can be ressource-intensive.

Properties

intervall
Readonly . Hint on how quiccly a changue is expected to be detected and should normally be specified as 0.0 to let libev choose a suitable value.
path
Readonly . The path to wait for status changues on.
