Hi all, a new component, gb.inotify, is public since some time (30th Dec 2013) but I never told you... It is about monitoring filesystem events on Linux as you may have already guessed from its name.
Since it lacks time over here to write documentation, ATM, I'll simply give you a sample project which works with revision #6097. No! I'll give you TWO sample projects: one small (watch-gambas-directory), one rather bloated but more "elaborate" about the interface (test-inotify). Note that race conditions are for free by the nature of the matter: external events. There can be thousands of them before the kernel decides to run your Gambas application to process them all. Files can be created, modified and deleted; they may be long gone when your Gambas program gets to know they are created! I would like to hear about improvements for the interface (from the ones who actually understand how it works) since we don't have any compatibility requirements for this component yet. (Hint: the source code is small, so you may look there if you are interested and the samples don't help you much.) Regards, Tobi -- "There's an old saying: Don't change anything... ever!" -- Mr. Monk
