DELETE_SELF WD=X
The path you requested a watch on (inotify_add_watch(path,mask) returned
X) has been deleted.
Then why the devil do we have IN_DELETE and IN_DELETE_SELF generated
in different places? The only difference is in who receives the
event - you send IN_DELETE to watchers on parent and IN_DELETE_SELF
on watchers on victim. Event itself is the same, judging by your
description...
No, because in the case of IN_DELETE, the path represented by the WD
hasn't been deleted, it is "PATH(WD)/event->name" that has been.
That's OK - same thing described for different recepients, thus two
events with different contents and type being sent.
Also,
IN_DELETE_SELF marks the death of the WD, no further events will be sent
with the same WD [Except for the IN_IGNORE].
Uh-oh... Now, _that_ is rather interesting - you are giving self- contradictory
descriptions of the semantics.
fd = open("foo", 0);
unlink("foo");
sleep for a day
fchmod(fd, 0400);
sleep for a day
close(fd);
Which events do we have here? Removal of path happens at unlink(); change
of attributes - a day later.
