To remove watching, we can use the Remove method, which will remove watching for the entire file/directory.

When there are multiple watching callbacks for the same file/directory, we can remove a specified callback using the RemoveCallback method. The callbackId parameter is the unique ID returned by the Callback object when adding watching.

Example 1

package main

import (
    "context"
    "time"

    "github.com/gogf/gf/v2/frame/g"
    "github.com/gogf/gf/v2/os/gfsnotify"
    "github.com/gogf/gf/v2/os/gtimer"
)

func main() {
    var (
        ctx    = context.Background()
        logger = g.Log()
    )
    c1, err := gfsnotify.Add("/home/john/temp/log", func(event *gfsnotify.Event) {
        logger.Debug(ctx, "callback1")
    })
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
    c2, err := gfsnotify.Add("/home/john/temp/log", func(event *gfsnotify.Event) {
        logger.Debug(ctx, "callback2")
    })
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
    // Remove the registration of callback function c1 after 5 seconds, leaving only c2
    gtimer.SetTimeout(ctx, 5*time.Second, func(ctx context.Context) {
        err = gfsnotify.RemoveCallback(c1.Id)
        logger.Debug(ctx, "remove callback c1", err)
    })
    // Remove the registration of callback function c2 after 10 seconds, all callbacks are removed, and no more log messages are output
    gtimer.SetTimeout(ctx, 10*time.Second, func(ctx context.Context) {
        err = gfsnotify.RemoveCallback(c2.Id)
        logger.Debug(ctx, "remove callback c2", err)
    })

    select {}
}

    cb, err := gfsnotify.Add("/home/john/temp", callback)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    // During this period create files, directories, modify files, delete files

    // Remove the callback registration after 20 seconds, all callbacks are removed and no more log messages are output
    gtimer.SetTimeout(ctx, 20*time.Second, func(ctx context.Context) {
        err = gfsnotify.RemoveCallback(cb.Id)
        logger.Debug(ctx, "remove callback", err)
