unwatchFile

external fun unwatchFile(filename: PathLike, listener: StatsListener = definedExternally)(source)

Stop watching for changes on filename. If listener is specified, only that particular listener is removed. Otherwise, all listeners are removed, effectively stopping watching of filename.

Calling fs.unwatchFile() with a filename that is not being watched is a no-op, not an error.

Using {@link watch} is more efficient than fs.watchFile() and fs.unwatchFile(). fs.watch() should be used instead of fs.watchFile() and fs.unwatchFile() when possible.

Since

v0.1.31

Parameters

Optional, a listener previously attached using fs.watchFile()
