inotify_rm_watch - Man Page

Standard C library (libc, -lc)

#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 error.

EBADF

fd is not a valid file descriptor.

EINVAL

The watch descriptor wd is not valid; or fd is not an inotify file descriptor.
