The masks are only printed using names, the actual values are integers.
An easy way to check for multiple events:
(member (logior in-ignored in-delete-self in-move-self)
events
:key #'event-mask
:test #'logtest)
With a timeout:
(with-inotify (inotify `(("/tmp/test" ,(logior in-modify
in-close))))
(loop for events = (read-events inotify :time-out 1)
thereis events
do (write-line "timed out")))
