fspy - filesystem activity monitoring tool
fspy [options] [file/dir]
- -F, --filter
STRING/REGEX
- a string or regular expression which will be used to filter the output.
(the regex will be matched against the whole path e.g. [/etc/passwd])
- -I, --inverted
STRING/REGEX
- its the same like -F/--filter but inverted. you can combine both.
e.g. -F '.conf' -I 'wvdial.conf' will filter for files with
".conf" in its name but without "wvdial.conf" in
it.
- -R, --recursive
NUMBER
- enables the recursive engine to look at a depth of NUMBER.
- -A,
--adaptive
- (HIGHLY-EXPERIMENTAL) enables the adaptive mode. e.g. if new items will be
added within the path fspy will automatically add those items to the watch
list.
- -D, --diff
VALUE
- (EXPERIMENTAL) enables the diffing feature. VALUE may be a comma separated
list of: s - element size (byte) A - last access time (e.g. Mon Jul 21
21:32:31 2008) M - last modification time (e.g. Mon Jul 21 21:32:31 2008)
S - last status change time (e.g. Mon Jul 21 21:32:31 2008) O -
permissions (octal) U - owner (uid) G - group (gid) I - inode number D -
device id
- -T, --type
VALUE
- specifies the type of objects to look for. VALUE may be a comma separated
list of: f - regular file d - directory s - symlink p - FIFO/pipe c -
character device b - block device o - socket default is any.
- -O, --output
VALUE
- specifies output format. VALUE may be a comma separated list of: f -
filename p - path d - access description t - element type s - element size
(byte) w - watch descriptor (inotify manpage) c - cookie (inotify manpage)
m - access mask (inotify manpage | src/fsevents.h) l - len (inotify
manpage) A - last access time (e.g. Mon Jul 21 21:32:31 2008) M - last
modification time (e.g. Mon Jul 21 21:32:31 2008) S - last status change
time (e.g. Mon Jul 21 21:32:31 2008) O - permissions (octal) U - owner
(uid) G - group (gid) I - inode number D - device id T - date and time
(for this event) (e.g. Tue Mar 25 09:23:16 CET 2008) e.g.: '[,T,],
,d,:,p,f' would result in: '[Mon Sep 1 12:31:25 2008] file was
opened:/etc/passwd' (take a look at the README).
