README
SKQueue
SKQueue is a Swift libary used to monitor changes to the filesystem. It wraps the part of the kernel event notification interface of libc, kqueue. This means SKQueue has a very small footprint and is highly scalable, just like kqueue.
Requirements
- Swift tools version 4
To build in older environments just replace Package.swift
with this file.
Installation
Swift Package Manager
To use SKQueue, add the code below to your dependencies
in Package.swift
.
Then run swift package fetch
to fetch SKQueue.
.package(url: "https://github.com/daniel-pedersen/SKQueue.git", from: "1.2.0"),
Usage
To monitor the filesystem with SKQueue
, you first need a SKQueueDelegate
instance that can accept notifications.
Paths to watch can then be added with addPath
, as per the example below.
Example
import SKQueue
class SomeClass: SKQueueDelegate {
func receivedNotification(_ notification: SKQueueNotification, path: String, queue: SKQueue) {
print("\(notification.toStrings().map { $0.rawValue }) @ \(path)")
}
}
let delegate = SomeClass()
let queue = SKQueue(delegate: delegate)!
queue.addPath("/Users/steve/Documents")
queue.addPath("/Users/steve/Documents/dog.jpg")
Action | Sample output |
---|---|
Add or remove file in /Users/steve/Documents |
["Write"] @ /Users/steve/Documents |
Add or remove directory in /Users/steve/Documents |
["Write", "SizeIncrease"] @ /Users/steve/Documents |
Write to file /Users/steve/Documents/dog.jpg |
["Rename", "SizeIncrease"] @ /Users/steve/Documents/dog.jpg |
