gFileMonitorFile {RGtk2} | R Documentation

## gFileMonitorFile

### Description

Obtains a file monitor for the given file. If no file notification mechanism exists, then regular polling of the file is used.

### Usage

    gFileMonitorFile(object, flags = "G_FILE_MONITOR_NONE", cancellable = NULL,
        .errwarn = TRUE)

### Arguments

``object`` | input `GFile`.
``flags`` | a set of `GFileMonitorFlags`.
``cancellable`` | optional `GCancellable` object, `NULL` to ignore.
`.errwarn` | Whether to issue a warning on error or fail silently

### Details

If `cancellable` is not `NULL`, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error `G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED` will be returned.

### Value

A list containing the following elements:

`retval` | [`GFileMonitor`] a `GFileMonitor` for the given `file`, or `NULL` on error.
``error`` | a `GError`, or `NULL`.
