StatWatcher

sealed external interface StatWatcher : EventEmitter(source)

Class: fs.StatWatcher

Since

v14.3.0, v12.20.0 Extends EventEmitter A successful call to {@link watchFile} method will return a new fs.StatWatcher object.

Functions

eventNames

fun eventNames(): Array<Any>

Returns an array listing the events for which the emitter has registered listeners. The values in the array are strings or Symbols.

getMaxListeners

fun getMaxListeners(): Double

Returns the current max listener value for the EventEmitter which is either set by emitter.setMaxListeners(n) or defaults to {@link defaultMaxListeners}.

ref

abstract fun ref()

When called, requests that the Node.js event loop not exit so long as the fs.StatWatcher is active. Calling watcher.ref() multiple times will have no effect.

setMaxListeners

fun setMaxListeners(n: Number)

By default EventEmitters will print a warning if more than 10 listeners are added for a particular event. This is a useful default that helps finding memory leaks. The emitter.setMaxListeners() method allows the limit to be modified for this specific EventEmitter instance. The value can be set to Infinity (or 0) to indicate an unlimited number of listeners.

unref

abstract fun unref()

When called, the active fs.StatWatcher object will not require the Node.js event loop to remain active. If there is no other activity keeping the event loop running, the process may exit before the fs.StatWatcher object's callback is invoked. Calling watcher.unref() multiple times will have no effect.
