4/*
5 * An API to let code "subscribe" to changes to the current working directory.
6 * The general idea is that some code asks to be notified when the working
7 * directory changes, and other code that calls chdir uses a special wrapper
8 * that notifies everyone.
9 */
10
11/*
12 * Callers who need to know about changes can do:
13 *
14 * void foo(const char *old_path, const char *new_path, void *data)
15 * {
16 * warning("switched from %s to %s!", old_path, new_path);
17 * }
18 * ...
19 * chdir_notify_register("description", foo, data);
20 *
21 * In practice most callers will want to move a relative path to the new root;
22 * they can use the reparent_relative_path() helper for that. If that's all
23 * you're doing, you can also use the convenience function:
24 *
25 * chdir_notify_reparent("description", &my_path);
26 *
27 * Whenever a chdir event occurs, that will update my_path (if it's relative)
28 * to adjust for the new cwd by freeing any existing string and allocating a
29 * new one.
30 *
31 * Registered functions are called in the order in which they were added. Note
32 * that there's currently no way to remove a function, so make sure that the
33 * data parameter remains valid for the rest of the program.
34 *
35 * The "name" argument is used only for printing trace output from
36 * $GIT_TRACE_SETUP. It may be NULL, but if non-NULL should point to
37 * storage which lasts as long as the registration is active.
