Detailed Description

Path filters used to accept or reject file change events.

A path filter is a regular expression used to accept or reject file change events based on the value of their path. A filter has the following characteristics:

• It has a regular expression (monitor_filter::text), used to match the paths.
• It can be an inclusion or an exclusion filter (monitor_filter::type).
• It can be case sensitive or insensitive (monitor_filter::case_sensitive).
• It can be an extended regular expression (monitor_filter::extended).

Further information about how filtering works in libfswatch can be found in Path Filtering.
