The File Alteration Monitor (FAM) monitors changes to files and directories in the filesystem and notifies interested applications of these changes. Your application can use FAM to get an up-to-date view of the filesystem rather than having to poll the filesystem. This chapter describes the required libraries and provides a basic list of steps for using FAM.
