Is this just using inotify on Linux? If so, there are equivalent options, including systemd path units, incron, and the inotifywait utility, in addition to the C API. The "man systemd.path" page does list explicit limitations of this kernel system call: "Internally, path units use the inotify(7) API to monitor file systems. Due to that, it suffers by the same limitations as inotify, and for example cannot be used to monitor files or directories changed by other machines on remote NFS file systems." (Files modified by mmap() also don't trigger events.) https://www.linuxjournal.com/content/linux-filesystem-events... Windows busybox also has an inotifyd, which appears to do something similar. |
