| Summary: Scalable directory/file change notification | |
This module implements an interface to the Linux 2.6.13 and later Inotify
file/directory change notification system.
It has a number of advantages over the Linux::Inotify module:
- it is portable (Linux::Inotify only works on x86)
- the equivalent of fullname works correctly
- it is better documented
- it has callback-style interface, which is better suited for
integration.
As for the inotify API itself - it is a very tricky, and somewhat
unreliable API. For a good overview of the challenges you might run into,
