shatag(1) Shatag shatag(1)
NAME
shatagd - Automatically maintain hash tags for files in a given directory
SYNOPSIS
shatagd [-druv] [PATH]...
DESCRIPTION
shatagd Is a daemon companion to shatag(1) that will monitor filesystem paths using inotify(7) and automatically recompute a tag whenever a
file is written to.
OPTIONS
-d, --daemon
Daemonize. You must use absolute file paths when using this option.
-r, --recursive
Recursively watch sub-directories, as well as newly created directories.
-u, --update
Only update already tagged files. See the shatag(1) manpage for pitfalls.
-v, --verbose
Write to stdout the paths of files which have their tags recomputed.
BUGS
Recursive mode is subject to an unavoidable race condition, due to a limitation of inotify.
Relative paths do not work when daemonized, only use absolute paths.
REPORTING BUGS
Report shatag bugs to the bugtracker at http://bitbucket.org/maugier/shatag,
