Do not assume that the path to a file will remain the same over its lifetime. Open files move, and you must be prepared to handle this (you will be notified post-facto via KAUTH_FILEOP_RENAME). You will only receive this notification if the node itself is renamed; if a parent component is renamed (changing the path to the node) you will *not* receive this notification for the node, only for the parent component. Unless you feel like checking the paths to all of the nodes you are currently tracking for this parent, this notification will not help you. Maintaining a shadow copy of part or all of the filesystem namespace is a losing game. I cannot recommend it. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
