[Haskell-cafe] inotify-alike for mac os x?

[Conal Elliott]

Oh -- also libevent, described at http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent/ :

Currently, *libevent* supports
*/dev/poll<http://access1.sun.com/techarticles/devpoll.html>
> *, *kqueue(2)<http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=kqueue&apropos=0&sektion=0&format=html>
> *, *event ports<http://developers.sun.com/solaris/articles/event_completion.html>
> *, *select(2)*, *poll(2)* and *epoll(4)<http://www.xmailserver.org/linux-patches/epoll.txt>
> *. The internal event mechanism is completely independent of the exposed
> event API, and a simple update of libevent can provide new functionality
> without having to redesign the applications. As a result, *Libevent*allows for portable application development and provides the most scalable
> event notification mechanism available on an operating system. Libevent can
> also be used for multi-threaded applications; see Steven Grimm's
> explanation<http://monkeymail.org/archives/libevent-users/2007-January/000450.html>.
> *Libevent* should compile on Linux, *BSD, Mac OS X, Solaris and Windows.
