Declaration source code

fdio_watch_directory(…) {:#fdio_watch_directory}

Declaration source code

Call the provided callback (cb) for each file in directory and each time a new file is added to the directory.

If the callback returns a status other than ZX_OK, watching stops and the callback's status is returned to the caller of fdio_watch_directory.

If the deadline expires, ZX_ERR_TIMED_OUT is returned to the caller. A deadline of ZX_TIME_INFINITE will never expire.

The callback may use ZX_ERR_STOP as a way to signal to the caller that it wants to stop because it found what it was looking for, etc -- since this error code is not returned by syscalls or public APIs, the callback does not need to worry about it turning up normally.
