Use the -l c option to qcc to link against this library. This library is usually included automatically.

Description:

The inotify_rm_watch() function removes a watch that you earlier set to watch for filesystem events. To use this function, the filesystem event manager (fsevmgr) manager needs to be running.

For an overview of inotify, see http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8478?page=0,0 in the Linux Journal, but note that there are differences between the Linux and QNX Neutrino implementations. Currently, only io-blk.so-based filesystems support inotify.

Returns:

0 on success, or -1 if an error occurred (errno is set).
