inotify_rm_watch - remove an existing watch from an inotify instance
#include <sys/inotify.h>
int inotify_rm_watch(int fd
, int
wd
);
inotify_rm_watch() removes the watch associated with
the watch descriptor wd
from the inotify instance associated
with the file descriptor fd
.
Removing a watch causes an IN_IGNORED event to be generated for this watch descriptor. (See inotify(7).)
On success, inotify_rm_watch() returns zero. On
error, -1 is returned and errno
is set to indicate the cause of
the error.
fd
is not a valid file descriptor.
The watch descriptor wd
is not valid; or fd
is not
an inotify file descriptor.
Inotify was merged into the 2.6.13 Linux kernel.
This system call is Linux-specific.
