inotify_rm_watch

inotify_rm_watch - remove an existing watch from an inotify instance

#include <sys/inotify.h> I int inotify_rm_watch(int fd , uint32_t wd );

R inotify_rm_watch () removes the watch associated with the watch descriptor wd from the inotify instance associated with the file descriptor R fd . Removing a watch causes an IN_IGNORED event to be generated for this watch descriptor. (See inotify(7).)

On success, R inotify_rm_watch () returns zero, or -1 if an error occurred (in which case, errno is set appropriately).
