fspy [options] [file/dir] OPTIONS
-F, --filter STRING/REGEX a string or regular expression which will be used to filter the output. (the regex will be matched against the whole path e.g. [/etc/passwd]) -I, --inverted STRING/REGEX its the same like -F/--filter but inverted. you can combine both. e.g. -F '.conf' -I 'wvdial.conf' will filter for files with ".conf" in its name but without "wvdial.conf" in it. -R, --recursive NUMBER enables the recursive engine to look at a depth of NUMBER. -A, --adaptive (HIGHLY-EXPERIMENTAL) enables the adaptive mode. e.g. if new items will be added within the path fspy will automatically add those items to the watch list. -D, --diff VALUE (EXPERIMENTAL) enables the diffing feature. VALUE may be a comma separated list of: s - element size (byte) A - last access time (e.g. Mon Jul 21 21:32:31 2008) M - last modification time (e.g. Mon Jul 21 21:32:31 2008) S - last status change time (e.g. Mon Jul 21 21:32:31 2008) O - permissions (octal) U - owner (uid) G - group (gid) I - inode number D - device id -T, --type VALUE specifies the type of objects to look for. VALUE may be a comma separated list of: f - regular file d - directory s - symlink p - FIFO/pipe c - character device b - block device o - socket default is any. -O, --output VALUE specifies output format. VALUE may be a comma separated list of: f - filename p - path d - access description t - element type s - element size (byte) w - watch descriptor (inotify manpage) c - cookie (inotify manpage) m - access mask (inotify manpage | src/fsev- ents.h) l - len (inotify manpage) A - last access time (e.g. Mon Jul 21 21:32:31 2008) M - last modification time (e.g. Mon Jul 21 21:32:31 2008) S - last status change time (e.g. Mon Jul 21 21:32:31 2008) O - permissions (octal) U - owner (uid) G - group (gid) I - inode number D - device id T - date and time (for this event) (e.g. Tue Mar 25 09:23:16 CET 2008) e.g.: '[,T,], ,d,:,p,f' would result in: '[Mon Sep 1 12:31:25 2008] file was opened:/etc/passwd' (take a look at the README). -h, --help this short help. --version version information.
