Recursively monitor everything

Open dumblob opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Does this monitor all files & directories recursively or only the one given directory or file?

That depends on the backend selected. not all filesystem monitor kernel apis allow to receive events on recursive inodes. But fsmon can do that by hooking all of them and dynamically adding/removing nodes when created/deleted, but that's far from perfect and way slower compared to use the right backend for it

I mean I couldn't find any command line argument for this and the documentation is silent about whether the default behavior is recursive or not.
