INOTIFY_RM_WATCH(2)					     Linux Programmer's Manual					       INOTIFY_RM_WATCH(2)

NAME

       inotify_rm_watch - remove an existing watch from an inotify instance

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/inotify.h>

       int inotify_rm_watch(int fd, uint32_t wd);

DESCRIPTION

       inotify_rm_watch()  removes the watch associated with the watch descriptor wd from the inotify instance associated with the file descriptor
       fd.

       Removing a watch causes an IN_IGNORED event to be generated for this watch descriptor.  (See inotify(7).)

RETURN VALUE

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

ERRORS

       EBADF  fd is not a valid file descriptor.

       EINVAL The watch descriptor wd is not valid; or fd is not an inotify file descriptor.

VERSIONS

       Inotify was merged into the 2.6.13 Linux kernel.

CONFORMING TO

       This system call is Linux-specific.
