빌드 및 실행
[/home/knight]  gcc -o watch.out watch.c
[/home/knight] ./watch.out
Watching the current directory


터미널 하나를 띄워서 테스트해본다.

[/home/knight] mkdir xx1
[/home/knight] mkdir xx2
[/home/knight] mv xx2 xx222
[/home/knight] rm -rf xx222

watch.out을 실행시켰던 터미널에서 결과를 확인한다.


./watch.out
Watching the current directory
[debug] wd=1 mask=1073742080 cookie=0 len=16 dir=yes
The directory xx1 was created.
[debug] wd=1 mask=1073742080 cookie=0 len=16 dir=yes
The directory xx2 was created.
[debug] wd=1 mask=1073741888 cookie=33508 len=16 dir=yes
The directory xx2 was moved.
[debug] wd=1 mask=1073741952 cookie=33508 len=16 dir=yes
The directory xx222 was moved.
[debug] wd=1 mask=1073742336 cookie=0 len=16 dir=yes
The directory xx222 was deleted.
