[OT] "Message" when file created.

I seem to remember that there's a low level system message created when a file is created. Basically, when a file is created the system notices and does something which can be hooked into by other apps. Does this ring any bells with anyone? If so, can you point me in vaguely the right direction (a starter would be to get the terminology right!).

I'd have thought that spotlight would use such a mechanism to index new files. Anyway, if I'm completely wrong here, let me know so that I don't waste any more time!

TIA
