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).

       -h, --help
