Tracks file creations and deletions in a directory. This project was meant to help me learn a bit about creating C library bindings. Don't take it too seriously. If you need a properly built tool with similar functionality then please look at inotify-tools.
Building this requires Crystal 1.6.1 or better and Linux
with
GNU libc
crystal build src/watch.cr
./watch path-to-directory
Once you start the application, it will log lines as below for
every file create and delete. This will only work on file systems
that inotify
supports.
DELETED: file1
DELETED: file2
DELETED: file3
DELETED: file5
CREATED: file1
