Module System.FSEvents

Inherit _FSEvents

inherit System._FSEvents : _FSEvents

Description

The System.FSEvents module provides an interface to FSEvents. FSEvents is an API in Mac OS X which allows an application to register for notifications of changes to a given directory tree without forcing the application to continously poll the directory tree.

This module is designed for use in asynchronous, or backend mode. That is, rather than polling for changes, a function you specify will be called when events of interest occur.

Note

This module requires the presence and use of a CFRunLoop based Backend object, otherwise this module will not receive events from the OS. CFRunLoop based backends are avilable on Mac OS X 10.5 and higher.
