Hi,
Does FPC have some file watching solution? I need this only for linux.
I need notifications:
- File/folder changed / removed / added in watched directory. I have
idea how to do this in thread loop but maybe FPC has OS solution
i'm interested in this, as well... i have an app in perl that i'm considering
rewriting in FPC... in that app, i had to specifically grab the attributes of
the files the app watches and compare those values to previously stored values...
in perl:
if ($check_file eq $alert_file) { # If we're testing the alert
file and
($dev,$ino,$mode,$nlink,$uid,$gid,$rdev,$size,$atime,$mtime,$ctime,$blksize,$blocks)
= stat($check_file);
if ($size < $prev_alert_size) { # the filesize is less than
last we checked,
&write_log (2,"Alert filename changed. Reopening $alert_file");
close (ALERT); # we need to close and
open (ALERT, "$alert_file"); # reopen it.
$prev_alert_size = $size;
} else {
$prev_alert_size = $size;
}
}
hopefully there is something similar to perl's stat() routine...
