You'll have to rewinddir() and readdir() on a FILE_MODIFIED event. This does present a scalability problem for large directories. http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=18695&tstart=465 mentions that FILE_CREATE and FILE_DELETE for directories were not implemented because it would require queuing of multiple events in the kernel (the other events coalesce so they don't have this issue). _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list opensolaris-code@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
