inotify_rm_watch - remove an existing watch from an inotify instance
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.
