Description:

This library provides inotify-compatible interface for applications, that need to monitor changes happening in a filesystem. It can be useful when porting Linux applications, which often use inotify interface. The IN_OPEN, IN_CLOSE_WRITE and IN_CLOSE_NOWRITE events are not yet implemented, so the relevant tests are known to fail. WWW: https://github.com/libinotify-kqueue/libinotify-kqueue

Configuration Options

No options to configure

USES:

libtool

pkg-message:

If installing:

Libinotify functionality on FreeBSD is missing support for - detecting a file being moved into or out of a directory within the same filesystem - certain modifications to a symbolic link (rather than the file it points to.) in addition to the known limitations on all platforms using kqueue(2) where various open and close notifications are unimplemented. This means the following regression tests will fail: Directory notifications: IN_MOVED_FROM IN_MOVED_TO Open/close notifications: IN_OPEN IN_CLOSE_NOWRITE IN_CLOSE_WRITE Symbolic Link notifications: IN_DONT_FOLLOW IN_ATTRIB IN_MOVE_SELF IN_DELETE_SELF Kernel patches to address the missing directory and symbolic link notifications are available from: https://github.com/libinotify-kqueue/libinotify-kqueue/tree/master/patches You might want to consider increasing the kern.maxfiles tunable if you plan to use this library for applications that need to monitor activity of a lot of files.

- Fix typo

Add NO_STAGE all over the place in preparation for the staging support (cat:
devel part 3)

Style: tab -> space.

Most contributors copy an existing port when writing their own so reduce the
number of bad examples in the tree.

- Return my ports back to the pool.  I was unable to make any fixes to
  my ports in the past 3 weeks while ports were broken on any 10.x
  machines, which means I'm unable to maintain them.  So let people know
  that there's no available support for them until things are back to
  normal (which also means that anyone with spare time will be able
  to fix them without getting approval).

- Add pkg-message suggesting increasing the kern.maxfiles tunable. [1]
- Add LICENSE.

Suggested by:   bapt [1]

- Add libinotify, a inotify-compatible file monitoring library, based
  on kevent(2).
