auto update on directory change

[NTB1988]

Hi all!



Recently I've started to develop a small program that needs to

check for the arrival of files in a pre-determined directory.



I could use a timer to check for changes in this directory every n seconds.



Instead, what I'm really looking for is for some kind of notification mechanism from the OS. I want the application to register for notifications from the OS for any changes in the directory the application is "listening" for.



Any ideas how I could implement this?



Thanks in advance, regards,

Bruno

I suggest you look at opening the approproate directory and use the FD with select. Reading the select man page will help you formulate the strategy and algorithm.
