Gamin the File Alteration Monitor. #File monitoring #Directory monitoring #File Alteration Monitor #FAM #Monitoring #Monitor
Gamin is a file and directory monitoring system defined to be a subset of the FAM (File Alteration Monitor) system. It is a service provided by a library which allows to detect when a file or a directory has been modified.
The main goals of the project are:
- minimize the security model of FAM - simplify the code base - provide an API and ABI compatible replacement for FAM - try to fix some other issues like resource consumption
Gamin also serves as an interface to test the inotify mechanism to improve the existing dnotify monitoring interface present in the Linux kernel.
At this point Gamin is fairly tied to Linux, portability is not a primary goal at this stage but if you have portability patches they are welcome.
From an historical point of view, gamin builds from the marmot project authored by James Willcox and Corey Bowers and then heavilly modified to turn it into a minimalist FAM replacement (Francophones will appreciate the filiation from fam to marmot and gamin.)
This library is available under the terms of the GNU LIBRARY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE, and a copy of it should be found in the source under the COPYING file.
