| This contains two tests for the inotify subsytem. |
| |
| The inotify API provides a mechanism for monitoring file system events. $ |
| Inotify can be used to monitor individual files, or to monitor directories. $ |
| When a directory is monitored, inotify will return events for the directory$ |
| itself, and for files inside the directory. |
| |
| The tests are intended to do the following: |
| test 1: |
| initialize inotify for the test file |
| generate sequence events: |
| operation expected event |
| ----------------------------------------- |
| chmod file IN_ATTRIB |
| open read-only IN_OPEN |
| read IN_ACCESS |
| close IN_CLOSE_NOWRITE |
| open read-write IN_OPEN |
| write IN_MODIFY |
| close IN_CLOSE_WRITE |
| check that all events have been received |
| test 2: |
| initialize inotify for the test directory |
| generate sequence events: |
| operate expected event |
| ----------------------------------------- |
| chmod IN_ISDIR | IN_ATTRIB |
| creat file IN_CREATE |
| IN_OPEN |
| close IN_CLOSE_WRITE |
| rename file IN_MOVED_FROM |
| IN_MOVED_TO |
| rename yourself IN_MOVE_SELF |
| unlink file IN_DELETE |
| rename yourself again |
| rename back IN_MOVE_SELF |
| check that all events have been received and the last two successive |
| IN_MOVE_SELF events will be coalesced into a single one. |
