=head1 NAME

File::Monitor::Object - Monitor a filesystem object for changes.

=head1 VERSION

This document describes File::Monitor::Object version 1.00

=head1 SYNOPSIS

Created by L to monitor a single file or directory.

    use File::Monitor;
    use File::Monitor::Object;

    my $monitor = File::Monitor->new();

    for my $file ( @files ) {
        $monitor->watch( $file );
    }

    # First scan just finds out about the monitored files. No changes
    # will be reported.
    $monitor->scan;

    # Later perform a scan and gather any changes
    for my $change ( $monitor->scan ) {
        # $change is a File::Monitor::Delta
    }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Monitors changes to a single file or directory. Don't create a
C directly; instead call C on
L.

A C represents a single file or directory. The
corresponding file or directory need not exist; a file being created is
one of the events that is monitored for. Similarly if the file or directory
is deleted that will be reported as a change.

Changes of state are returned as a L object.

The state of the monitored file or directory at the time of the last
C can be queried. Before C is called these methods will all
return C. The following methods return the value of the
corresponding field from L:

    dev inode mode num_links uid gid rdev size
    atime mtime ctime blk_size blocks

For example:

    my $file_size = $object->size;
    my $modified  = $object->mtime;

If any error occured during the previous C it may be retrieved like this:

    my $last_error = $obj->error;

It is not an error for the file being monitored not to exist.

Finally if a directory is being monitored and the C or C
option was specified the list of files in the directory may be retrieved
like this:

    my @contained_files = $obj->files;

If C was specified this will return the files and directories
immediately below the monitored directory but not the contents of any
subdirectories. If C was specified the entire directory tree
below this directory will be returned.

In either case the returned filenames will be complete absolute paths.

=head2 Caveat for Directories

Note that C has no magical way to quickly perform
a recursive scan of a directory. If you point it at a directory
containing 1,000,000 files and specify the C option directory
scans I take a long time.

=head1 INTERFACE

=over

=item C<< new( $args ) >>

Create a new C. Don't call C directly; use
instead L<< File::Monitor->watch >>.

=item C<< scan() >>

Perform a scan of the monitored file or directory and return a list
of changes. The returned list will contain either a single
L object describing all changes or will be empty
if no changes occurred.

    if ( my $change = $object->scan ) {
        # $change is a File::Monitor::Delta that describes all the
        # changes to the monitored file or directory.
    }

When C is first called the current state of the monitored
file/directory will be captured but no change will be reported.

=item C<< callback( [ $event, ] $coderef ) >>

Register a callback. If C<$event> is omitted the callback will be called
for all changes. Specify C<$event> to limit the callback to certain event
types. See L for a full list of events.

    $object->callback( sub {
        # called for all changes
    } );

    $object->callback( metadata => sub {
        # called for changes to file/directory metatdata
    } );

See L for a full list of events that can be
monitored.

=item C<< name >>

Returns the absolute name of the file or directory being monitored. If
C was passed a relative path it is resolved relative to the current
directory at the time of object creation to make it absolute.

=item C<< files >>

If monitoring a directory and the C or C options were
specified to C, C returns a list of contained files. The
returned filenames will be absolute paths.

=back

=head2 Other Accessors

In addition to the above the following methods may be called to return
the value of the corresponding field from L:

    dev inode mode num_links uid gid rdev size
    atime mtime ctime blk_size blocks

For example:

    my $inode = $obj->inode;

Check the documentation for L to discover which fields
are valid on your platform.

=head1 DIAGNOSTICS

=over

=item C<< %s is read-only >>

You have attempted to modify a read-only accessor. It may be tempting
for example to attempt to change the name of the monitored file or
directory like this:

    # Won't work
    $obj->name( 'somefile.txt' );

All of the attributes exposed by C are read-only.

=item C<< When options are supplied as a hash there may be no other arguments >>

When creating a new C you must either supply
C with a reference to a hash of options or, as a special case, pass
a filename and optionally a callback.

=item C<< The name option must be supplied >>

The options hash must contain a key called C that specifies the
name of the file or directory to be monitored.

=item C<< A filename must be specified >>

You must suppy C with the name of the file or directory to be
monitored.

=head1 CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT

File::Monitor::Object requires no configuration files or environment variables.

=head1 DEPENDENCIES

None.

=head1 INCOMPATIBILITIES

None reported.

=head1 BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

No bugs have been reported.

Please report any bugs or feature requests to
C, or through the web interface at
L.
