watchdrain is a simple command line tool that monitors a directory until it is empty of files.

I wrote it as an exercise to experiment with Go channels, goroutines, context, and testing in Go.

Installation

go install github.com/mabego/watchdrain@latest

Using go run

git clone https://github.com/mabego/watchdrain.git

cd watchdrain

go run . <directory>

Usage

watchdrain -deadline 1m <directory>

See watchdrain --help for more information.
