I appreciate the suggestions, but I need something a little more
pret-a-porte.
Your Google-fu needs work ;-)
Main Gamin page: http://www.gnome.org/~veillard/gamin/index.html
Actually, I found this page, which has this gem: "At this point Gamin is
fairly tied to Linux, portability is not a primary goal at this stage but
if you have portability patches they are welcome."
Much has changed since that text was written, including support for the
event completion framework (port_create() and friends, introduced with
Sol 10) on Solaris, thus the recommendation for gam_server / gamin.
$ nm /usr/lib/gam_server | grep port_create
[458] | 134589544| 0|FUNC |GLOB |0 |UNDEF |port_create
The patch for port_create has never gone upstream however, while gvfs uses
glib's gio, which has backends for inotify, solaris, fam and win32.
