inotifyを使ってみた。

Last updated at Posted at 2013-03-07

inotifyというディレクトリやファイルを監視する仕組みがあるらしい。そこで使ってみた。下記は、引数でファイルを与え、そのファイルへの変更を監視するサンプルです。
inotify_init()でfdを取得して、inotify_add_watch()で監視するイベント、ファイル(ディレクトリ)を設定し、read()を使って、発生したイベントを取得する仕組みです。
tail -fとかもこんな感じで処理している気がします。

inotify_sample.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/inotify.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/inotify.h>

#define EVENT_SIZE  ( sizeof (struct inotify_event) )
#define BUF_LEN     ( 1024 * ( EVENT_SIZE + 16 ) )

void inotify_events_loop( int fd );
int inotify_read_events( int fd );

int main( int argc, char **argv ) 
{
    int fd = -1;
    int wd = -1;
    char *filename = NULL;

    if  ( argc != 2 ) {
        fprintf( stderr, "Usage:%s filepath\n", argv[0]);
        goto ERROR;
    } 

    filename = argv[1];

    if( (fd = inotify_init()) == -1 ) {
        perror( "inotify_init" );
        goto ERROR;
    }

    wd = inotify_add_watch( fd, argv[1], 
            IN_MODIFY | IN_CREATE | IN_DELETE );

    inotify_events_loop( fd );

    inotify_rm_watch( fd, wd );
    close( fd );

    return 0;
ERROR:
    return 1;
}

void inotify_events_loop( int fd )
{
    int count = -1;
    while(1) {
        count = inotify_read_events( fd );
        fprintf( stdout, "events count[%d]\n", count);
    }
}

int inotify_read_events( int fd )
{
    int count = 0;
    int i = 0;
    char buffer[BUF_LEN];
    int length = 0;
    if( (length = read( fd, buffer, BUF_LEN ) ) < 0 ) return count;

    while ( i < length ) {
        struct inotify_event *event = ( struct inotify_event * ) &buffer[ i ];
        /* 必要なイベントの処理 */
        if ( event->mask & IN_MODIFY ) {
            printf("%s file is modify\n",  event->name);
        }
        i += EVENT_SIZE + event->len;
        count++;
    }
    return count;
}
