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...
I believe Linux has dnotify, inotify and possibly File Alteration
Monitor, but that these are version-dependant and extremely dependant
on distro policies. Because of this uncertainty it would be necessary to
load the support libraries dynamically.
