OSX FSEventStreamEventFlags not working correctly

问题

I am watching a directory for file system events. Everything seems to work fine with one exception. When I create a file the first time, it spits out that it was created. Then I can remove it and it says it was removed. When I go to create the same file again, I get both a created and removed flag at the same time. I obviously am misunderstanding how the flags are being set when the callback is being called. What is happening here?

        uint32 flag = eventFlags[i];

        uint32 created = kFSEventStreamEventFlagItemCreated;
        uint32 removed = kFSEventStreamEventFlagItemRemoved;

        if(flag & removed) {
            printf("Item Removed: %s\n", pathsList[i]);
        }
        else if(flag & created) {
            printf("Item Created: %s\n", pathsList[i]);

As far as I can tell, you will have to look for either kFSEventStreamEventFlagItemRemoved or kFSEventStreamEventFlagItemCreated, and then use stat() or similar to check if the file was in fact added or deleted. The FSEvents documentation seems to hint as such.

It looks like the API is or'ing the events bits together... so really it's an OR of all the changes made since the FSEventsListener is created. Since that seems to be the case, another option might be to create a new FSEventListener each time (and use the coalesce timer option).

I did some Googling, but didn't find other examples of this problem or even apple sample code, but I didn't spend too long on it.

I have previously used the kqueue API: https://gist.github.com/nielsbot/5155671 (This gist is an obj-c wrapper around kqueue)

I changed your sample code to show all flags set for each FSEvent:

#include <CoreServices/CoreServices.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

static int __count = 0 ;
void eventCallback(FSEventStreamRef stream, void* callbackInfo, size_t numEvents, void* paths, const FSEventStreamEventFlags eventFlags[], const FSEventStreamEventId eventIds[]) {
    char **pathsList = paths;

    printf("callback #%u\n", ++__count ) ;
    const char * flags[] = {
        "MustScanSubDirs",
        "UserDropped",
        "KernelDropped",
        "EventIdsWrapped",
        "HistoryDone",
        "RootChanged",
        "Mount",
        "Unmount",
        "ItemCreated",
        "ItemRemoved",
        "ItemInodeMetaMod",
        "ItemRenamed",
        "ItemModified",
        "ItemFinderInfoMod",
        "ItemChangeOwner",
        "ItemXattrMod",
        "ItemIsFile",
        "ItemIsDir",
        "ItemIsSymlink",
        "OwnEvent"
    } ;

    for(int i = 0; i<numEvents; i++)
    {
        printf("%u\n", i ) ;
        printf("\tpath %s\n", pathsList[i]) ;
        printf("\tflags: ") ;
        long bit = 1 ;
        for( int index=0, count = sizeof( flags ) / sizeof( flags[0]); index < count; ++index )
        {
            if ( ( eventFlags[i] & bit ) != 0 )
            {
                printf("%s ", flags[ index ] ) ;
            }
            bit <<= 1 ;
        }
        printf("\n") ;
    }

    FSEventStreamFlushSync( stream ) ;

}

int main(int argc, const char * argv[])
{
    CFStringRef path = CFStringCreateWithCString( kCFAllocatorDefault, argv[1], kCFStringEncodingUTF8 ) ;
    CFArrayRef paths = CFArrayCreate(NULL, (const void **)&path, 1, &kCFTypeArrayCallBacks );
    if ( path ) { CFRelease( path ) ; }

    CFRunLoopRef loop = CFRunLoopGetCurrent() ;
    FSEventStreamRef stream = FSEventStreamCreate(NULL, (FSEventStreamCallback)eventCallback, NULL, paths, kFSEventStreamEventIdSinceNow, 0, kFSEventStreamCreateFlagFileEvents );
    if ( paths ) { CFRelease( paths ) ; }

    FSEventStreamScheduleWithRunLoop(stream, loop, kCFRunLoopDefaultMode);
    FSEventStreamStart(stream);

    CFRunLoopRun() ;

    FSEventStreamStop(stream);
    FSEventStreamInvalidate(stream);
    FSEventStreamRelease(stream);

    return 0;
}
