Detailed Description
Monitors a file or directory for changes.To obtain a FileMonitor for a file or directory, use File::monitor_file() or File::monitor_directory().
To get informed about changes to the file or directory you are monitoring, connect to signal_changed.

Provides access to the underlying C instance. The caller is responsible for unrefing it. Use when directly setting fields in structs.
| bool Gio::FileMonitor::cancel | ( | ) |
Cancels a file monitor.
- Returns:
trueif monitor was cancelled.
| bool Gio::FileMonitor::is_cancelled | ( | ) | const |
Returns: true if monitor is canceled.
false otherwise.
- Returns:
trueif monitor is canceled.falseotherwise.
| void Gio::FileMonitor::set_rate_limit | ( | int | limit_msecs | ) |
Sets the rate limit to which the monitor will report consecutive change events to the same file.
- Parameters:
-
limit_msecs A integer with the limit in milliseconds to poll for changes.

| Glib::PropertyProxy<int> Gio::FileMonitor::property_rate_limit | ( | ) |
The limit of the monitor to watch for changes.
You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.
- Returns:
- A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the property of the value, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

A Glib::wrap() method for this object.
- Parameters:
-
object The C instance. take_copy False if the result should take ownership of the C instance. True if it should take a new copy or ref.
- Returns:
- A C++ instance that wraps this C instance.
