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

* to a directory and back, as long as you don't call any subscribed code in
* between (but it should be safe to do so if you're unsure).
