Run a command, tracing it to detect files it uses (or might use), and watch those files for changes. When a file changes, rerun the command.
mustardwatch is implemented using the Linux ptrace API (like strace). It currently only supports x86-64 Linux.
Run ./make and then use or install ./build/mustardwatch.
Usage: mustardwatch [OPTION...] COMMAND [ARG...]
Run a command, tracing it to detect files it uses (or might use), and watch
those files for changes. When a file changes, rerun the command.
File events generated while the command is running are ignored. Files in
common global directories (/bin, /dev, /etc, /lib, /proc, /sys, /tmp, /usr)
are skipped by default.
Files used by subprocesses are also tracked (but note that all subprocesses
are killed when the main process exits).
Options:
-c, --clear clear screen before running program
-d, --directories watch directories as well as regular files
-g, --global do not skip files in common global directories
-o, --out=FILE rather than respawning the process when files change,
write out a list of watched files to FILE, then exit
-v, --verbose show verbose output (watched files and events)
(use multiple times for more verbose output)
--help print this message
