MODIFIED(4)

👑 Modified(special file) 👑

okay bestie, welcome to the Modified(special file) page — the manual name is folded right in up here, cute and cozy, no duplicated header line energy 💅✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

Modified — an entity has been modified. That's the whole vibe: something got changed, and this notice is here to tell you about it 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

[file] Modified(in type ID);

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so picture this: the Modified notice gets sent whenever a tool first modifies a volatile, non-shared (for example, in-memory) representation of the persistent state of an entity (such as a file), with the intention of eventually making that representation persistent. It's giving “hey bestie, I touched the in-memory version, and I plan to make it permanent later” — main character notice energy, fr fr 🔥

The ID argument is the identity of the modified entity. When its type is File, then the ID argument is unset (in other words, has a value of (char *)0), and it refers to the file or directory named in the message's file attribute. Yes, that's exact — (char *)0, not a vibe, not a guess, an actual value 😌

🦋 APPLICATION USAGE 🦋

The ttdt_file_join(3), function can be used to register for, and help process, the Modified request. (Yes, that comma is living its best life after ttdt_file_join(3) — preserving the original tea 🫖)

The Modified request can be sent with ttdt_file_event(3). Slay, now you know both the join-and-process path and the send-it path 💫
