inotify_rm_watch - remove an existing watch from an inotify instance

Standard C library ( libc , -lc )

#include <sys/inotify.h>

int inotify_rm_watch(int fd , int wd );

inotify_rm_watch () removes the watch associated with the watch descriptor wd from the inotify instance associated with the file descriptor fd .

Removing a watch causes an IN_IGNORED event to be generated for this watch descriptor. (See inotify (7).)

On success, inotify_rm_watch () returns zero. On error, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.

	EBADF		fd is not a valid file descriptor.
	EINVAL		The watch descriptor wd is not valid; or fd is not an inotify file descriptor.
