end

stop() click to toggle source

Stop all listeners & Celluloid

Use it for testing purpose or when you are sure that Celluloid could be ended.

This is used by the `listen` binary to handle Ctrl-C

# File lib/listen.rb, line 38
def stop
  @listeners ||= []

  # TODO: should use a mutex for this
  @listeners.each do |listener|
    # call stop to halt the main loop
    listener.stop
  end
  @listeners = nil

  Celluloid.shutdown
end

to(*args, &block) click to toggle source

Listens to file system modifications on a either single directory or multiple directories.

When :forward_to is specified, this listener will broadcast modifications over TCP.

@param (see Listen::Listener#new)

@return [Listen::Listener] the listener

# File lib/listen.rb, line 21
def to(*args, &block)
  Celluloid.boot unless Celluloid.running?
  options = args.last.is_a?(Hash) ? args.last : {}
  if target = options.delete(:forward_to)
    _add_listener(target, :broadcaster, *args, &block)
  else
    _add_listener(*args, &block)
  end
end
