Hi all, What is the appropriate tool to see file system activity? SCO Unix had a tool that would show file name, accessing process name (or PID?), open flags, time open, closed, bytes in/out, etc. Anything like this on MacOS 10.4.X? Is there a framework that does this that I can use in code I write?

Check out the "lsof" and "fs_usage" command line utilities. They and their friends have a lot (all?) of this information.

You may find it easier to wrap an NSTask around them than to use the underlying APIs; but the man pages for lsof and fs_usage should still point to some C APIs if you insist on writing your own code. :-)
