module INotify
# An event caused by a change on the filesystem.
# Each {Watcher} can fire many events,
# which are passed to that watcher's callback.
class Event
# A list of other events that are related to this one.
# Currently, this is only used for files that are moved within the same directory:
# the `:moved_from` and the `:moved_to` events will be related.
#
# @return [Array<Event>]
attr_reader :related
# The name of the file that the event occurred on.
# This is only set for events that occur on files in directories;
# otherwise, it's `""`.
# Similarly, if the event is being fired for the directory itself
# the name will be `""`
#
# This pathname is relative to the enclosing directory.
# For the absolute pathname, use \{#absolute\_name}.
# Note that when the `:recursive` flag is passed to {Notifier#watch},
# events in nested subdirectories will still have a `#name` field
# relative to their immediately enclosing directory.
# For example, an event on the file `"foo/bar/baz"`
# will have name `"baz"`.
#
# @return [String]
attr_reader :name
# The {Notifier} that fired this event.
#
# @return [Notifier]
attr_reader :notifier
# An integer specifying that this event is related to some other event,
# which will have the same cookie.
#
# Currently, this is only used for files that are moved within the same directory.
# Both the `:moved_from` and the `:moved_to` events will have the same cookie.

# This is generally similar to the input to {Notifier#watch},
# except that it won't contain options flags nor `:all_events`,
# and it may contain one or more of the following flags:
#
# `:unmount`
# : The filesystem containing the watched file or directory was unmounted.
#
# `:ignored`
# : The \{#watcher watcher} was closed, or the watched file or directory was deleted.
#
# `:isdir`
# : The subject of this event is a directory.
