No changes # will be reported. $object->scan; # After the first scan we get a list of File::Monitor::Delta objects # that describe any changes my @changes = $object->scan; for my $change (@changes) { # Call methods on File::Monitor::Delta to discover what changed if ($change->is_size) { my $name = $change->name; my $old_size = $change->old_size; my $new_size = $change->new_size; print "$name has changed size from $old_size to $new_size\n"; } } =head1 DESCRIPTION When L or L detects a change to a file or directory it packages the details of the change in a C object. Methods exist to discover the nature of the change (C et al.), retrieve the attributes of the file or directory before and after the change (C, C, C, C etc), retrieve details of the change in a convenient form (C, C) and gain access to the L for which the change was observed (C). Unless you are writing a subclass of C it isn't normally necessary to instantiate C objects directly. =head2 Changes Classified Various types of change are identified and classified into the following hierarchy: change created deleted metadata time mtime ctime perms uid gid mode size directory files_created files_deleted The terminal nodes of that tree (C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C and C) represent actual change events. Non terminal nodes represent broader classifications of events. For example if a file's mtime changes the resulting C object will return true for each of $delta->is_mtime; # The actual change $delta->is_time; # One of the file times changed $delta->is_metadata; # The file's metadata changed $delta->is_change; # This is true for any change This event classification is used to target callbacks at specific events or categories of events. See L and L for more information about callbacks. =head2 Accessors Various accessors allow the state of the object before and after the change and the details of the change to be queried. These accessors return information about the state of the file or directory before the detected change: old_dev old_inode old_mode old_num_links old_uid old_gid old_rdev old_size old_mtime old_ctime old_blk_size old_blocks old_error old_files For example: my $mode_was = $delta->old_mode; These accessors return information about the state of the file or directory after the detected change: new_dev new_inode new_mode new_num_links new_uid new_gid new_rdev new_size new_mtime new_ctime new_blk_size new_blocks new_error new_files For example: my $new_size = $delta->new_size; These accessors return a value that reflects the change in the corresponding attribute: created deleted mtime ctime uid gid mode size With the exception of C, C and C they return the difference between the old value and the new value. This is only really useful in the case of C: my $grown_by = $delta->size; Is equivalent to my $grown_by = $delta->new_size - $delta->old_size; For the other values the subtraction is performed merely to ensure that these values are non-zero. # Get the difference between the old and new UID. Unlikely to be # interesting. my $delta_uid = $delta->uid; As a special case the delta value for C is computed as old_mode ^ new_mode. The old mode is XORed with the new mode so that my $bits_changed = $delta->mode; gets a bitmask of the mode bits that have changed. If the detected change was the creation or deletion of a file C or C respectively will be true. if ( $delta->created ) { print "Yippee! We exist\n"; } if ( $delta->deleted ) { print "Boo! We got deleted\n"; } For a directory which is being monitored with the C or C options (see L for details) C and C will contain respectively the list of new files below this directory and the list of files that have been deleted. my @new_files = $delta->files_created; for my $file ( @new_files ) { print "$file created\n"; } my @gone_away = $delta->files_deletedl for my $file ( @gone_away ) { print "$file deleted\n"; } =head1 INTERFACE =over =item C<< new( $args ) >> Create a new C object. You don't normally need to do this; deltas are created as necessary by L. The single argument is a reference to a hash that must contain the following keys: =over =item object The L for which this change is being reported. =item old_info A hash describing the state of the file or directory before the change. =item new_info A hash describing the state of the file or directory after the change. =back =item C<< is_event( $event ) >> Returns true if this delta represents the specified event. For example, if a file's size changes the following will all return true: $delta->is_event('size'); # The actual change $delta->is_event('metadata'); # The file's metadata changed $delta->is_event('change'); # This is true for any change Valid eventnames are change created deleted metadata time mtime ctime perms uid gid mode size directory files_created files_deleted As an alternative interface you may call CI directly. For example $delta->is_size; $delta->is_metadata; $delta->is_change; Unless the event you wish to test for is variable this is a cleaner, less error prone interface. Normally your code won't see a C for which C returns false. Any change causes C to be true and the C methods of C and C don't return deltas for unchanged files. =item C<< name >> The name of the file for which the change is being reported. Read only. =item C<< object >> The L for which this change is being reported. =back =head2 Other methods As mentioned above a large number of other accessors are provided to get the state of the object before and after the change and query details of the change: old_dev old_inode old_mode old_num_links old_uid old_gid old_rdev old_size old_mtime old_ctime old_blk_size old_blocks old_error old_files new_dev new_inode new_mode new_num_links new_uid new_gid new_rdev new_size new_mtime new_ctime new_blk_size new_blocks new_error new_files created deleted mtime ctime uid gid mode size files_created files_deleted name See L for details of these. =head1 DIAGNOSTICS =over =item C<< %s is read-only >> C is an immutable description of a change in a file's state. None of its accessors allow values to be changed. =item C<< You must supply a value for %s >> The three options that C (C, C and C) are all mandatory. =back =head1 CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT File::Monitor::Delta requires no configuration files or environment variables. =head1 DEPENDENCIES None. =head1 INCOMPATIBILITIES None reported. =head1 BUGS AND LIMITATIONS No bugs have been reported.
