public class FileWatchEvent extends Event:

Event

└ FileWatchEvent

Payload emitted by FileWatcher when the watched file state changes.

kind is one of created, modified or deleted. The event carries the previous and current filesystem metadata so handlers can decide whether a size-only or timestamp-only change matters for their use case.

watcher.changed += lambda(e: FileWatchEvent): print(e.kind)
