NAME

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/inotify.h>

       int inotify_rm_watch(int fd, uint32_t wd);

DESCRIPTION

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.
