Flier

Copy Markdown View Source

Add some file functions in Elixir by adding some NIFs using Rustler.

  • inotify
  • file listing stream

Examples (inotify)

{:ok, ref} = Flier.Inotify.start_watcher("/tmp", [:create])
receive do
    {:inotify_event, file, mask} -> IO.puts("File '#{file}' triggered by #{inspect mask}")
end
:stopped = Flier.Inotify.stop_watcher(ref)
"/tmp"
|> Flier.Inotify.stream([:close_write])
|> Enum.each(fn {file, mask} -> IO.puts("File '#{file}' triggered by #{inspect mask}") end)

Examples (entries)

"/tmp"
|> Flier.Entries.stream()
|> Enum.each(fn entry -> IO.puts("Entry '#{entry.name}' is a '#{entry.type}'") end)
