site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: Darwin-dev@lists.apple.com 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. Thanks to all of you.
