Class Gio.FileMonitor

Import line:	Gio = imports.gi.Gio;
GIR File:	Gio-2.0.gir
C documentation:	GFileMonitor
Class :	FileMonitor
Extends:	GObject.Object

Monitors a file or directory for changes.
To obtain a GFileMonitor for a file or directory, use
g_file_monitor(), g_file_monitor_file(), or
g_file_monitor_directory().
To get informed about changes to the file or directory you are
monitoring, connect to the GFileMonitor::changed signal. The
signal will be emitted in the linkend="g-main-context-push-thread-default">thread-default main
context of the thread that the monitor was created in
(though if the global default main context is blocked, this may
cause notifications to be blocked even if the thread-default
context is still running).

Methods / Constructors
Method / Constructor		Defined By
	new Gio.FileMonitor (Object *properties) Create a new Gio.FileMonitor Create a new Gio.FileMonitor Parameters: Object properties*
	cancel () : gboolean Cancels a file monitor. Cancels a file monitor. Returns: gboolean TRUE if monitor was cancelled.	Gio.FileMonitor
	emit_event (File *child, File other_file, FileMonitorEvent event_type) : none Emits the GFileMonitor::changed signal if a change has taken place. Emits the GFileMonitor::changed signal if a change has taken place. Should be called from file monitor implementations only. The signal will be emitted from an idle handler (in the linkend="g-main-context-push-thread-default">thread-default main context). Parameters: Gio.File child* Required (not null) a GFile. Gio.File other_file Required (not null) a GFile. Gio.FileMonitorEvent event_type Required (not null) a set of GFileMonitorEvent flags. Returns: none	Gio.FileMonitor
	is_cancelled () : gboolean Returns whether the monitor is canceled. Returns whether the monitor is canceled. Returns: gboolean TRUE if monitor is canceled. FALSE otherwise.	Gio.FileMonitor
	set_rate_limit (gint32 *limit_msecs) : none Sets the rate limit to which the monitor* will report consecutive change events to the same file. Sets the rate limit to which the monitor will report consecutive change events to the same file. Parameters: gint32 limit_msecs Required (not null) a non-negative integer with the limit in milliseconds to poll for changes Returns: none	Gio.FileMonitor

Events - usage syntax: this.signals.EVENTNAME.connect( Function )
Event		Defined By
	changed (FileMonitor *self, File file, File other_file, FileMonitorEvent event_type) : none Emitted when file* has been changed. Emitted when file has been changed. If using G_FILE_MONITOR_SEND_MOVED flag and event_type is G_FILE_MONITOR_SEND_MOVED, file will be set to a GFile containing the old path, and other_file will be set to a GFile containing the new path. In all the other cases, other_file will be set to NULL. Parameters: Gio.FileMonitor self Gio.File file Gio.File other_file Gio.FileMonitorEvent event_type Returns: {none}	Gio.FileMonitor
