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
              this short help.
