Re: Limit on kevent entries?

Amit Singh's got a sample app which uses the same mechanism that Spotlight
uses for spotting filesystem events, i.e. reading from /dev/fsevents. This
is not officially documented of course, but you can look at its
implementation in the Darwin sources.

neat. This looks very interesting.

Unfortunately, I guess there are a number of reasons that preclude a deployment of similar techniques in end-user apps, at least the requirement to run as root, the undocumented API, and the possible interference with Spotlight. But interesting nevertheless. So I guess I'll stick with my kqueues solution, with cranked-up RLIMIT_NOFILE.

Thanks to all of you.

Cheers,
