NAME
       inotifyrmwatch - remove an existing watch from an inotify instance

SYNOPSIS
       #include 

       int inotifyrmwatch(int fd, int wd);

DESCRIPTION
       inotifyrmwatch() removes the watch associated with the watch descrip‐
       tor wd from the inotify instance associated with  the  file  descriptor
       fd.

       Removing  a  watch  causes an INIGNORED event to be generated for this
       watch descriptor.  (See inotify(7).)

RETURN VALUE
       On success, inotifyrmwatch() returns zero, or -1 if an error occurred
       (in which case, errno is set appropriately).

ERRORS
       EBADF  fd is not a valid file descriptor.

       EINVAL The  watch  descriptor  wd is not valid; or fd is not an inotify
              file descriptor.

VERSIONS
