NAME
fspy - filesystem activity monitoring tool
SYNOPSIS
fspy [options] [file/dir]
OPTIONS
-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).
