FileMonitorFlags
===================================================================

.. currentmodule:: gi.repository.Gio





.. class:: FileMonitorFlags
   :no-contents-entry:






Flags used to set what a :obj:`~gi.repository.Gio.FileMonitor` will watch for.













Fields
------

.. rst-class:: interim-class

.. class:: FileMonitorFlags
   :no-index:
   

   .. attribute:: NONE

      No flags set.







   .. attribute:: SEND_MOVED

      Pair DELETED and CREATED events caused
      by file renames (moves) and send a single G_FILE_MONITOR_EVENT_MOVED
      event instead (NB: not supported on all backends; the default
      behaviour -without specifying this flag- is to send single DELETED
      and CREATED events).  Deprecated since 2.46: use
      :const:`~gi.repository.Gio.FileMonitorFlags.WATCH_MOVES` instead.







   .. attribute:: WATCH_HARD_LINKS

      Watch for changes to the file made
      via another hard link. Since 2.36.







   .. attribute:: WATCH_MOUNTS

      Watch for mount events.







   .. attribute:: WATCH_MOVES

      Watch for rename operations on a
      monitored directory.  This causes :const:`~gi.repository.Gio.FileMonitorEvent.RENAMED`,
      :const:`~gi.repository.Gio.FileMonitorEvent.MOVED_IN` and :const:`~gi.repository.Gio.FileMonitorEvent.MOVED_OUT`
      events to be emitted when possible.  Since: 2.46.
