FileMonitor

open class FileMonitor(pointer: <Error class: unknown class><<Error class: unknown class>>)

Monitors a file or directory for changes.

To obtain a GFileMonitor for a file or directory, use method@Gio.File.monitor, method@Gio.File.monitor_file, or method@Gio.File.monitor_directory.

To get informed about changes to the file or directory you are monitoring, connect to the signal@Gio.FileMonitor::changed signal. The signal will be emitted in the thread-default main context (see method@GLib.MainContext.push_thread_default) of the thread that the monitor was created in (though if the global default main context is blocked, this may cause notifications to be blocked even if the thread-default context is still running).
