If you are interested only in read and write system calls and don't want to do polling, take a look at this. http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2005/tn2127.html. You need to write a kauth hook and user land client process. If the kauth hook kext could provide a device interface, then the user land client can block on a "read(/dev/yourKauthDevice)" and process what you read with no polling. Option 2. If you don't want to write a kext and still achieve results with NO polling, then take a look at this http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Performance/Conceptual/ FileSystem/Articles/TrackingChanges.html I think the latency here is very high, isn't it (hundreds of milliseconds to seconds)?
