I recommend using the UserClient for a blocking work availaible style

API. In general mixing BSD and IOKit can lead to vast complications

with locking. Specifically funnels vs IOWorkLoops.

My requirement involves a file system (VFS stack implemented as a KEXT) that needs to pass information off to a Carbon application. What approach would you recommend in that situation? I currently have the app poll the KEXT, which I dislike in terms of performance and aesthetics, but it works. Thanks.
