perl-Linux-Inotify2


Scalable directory/file change notification


Unspecified

This module implements an interface to the Linux 2.6.13 and later Inotify file/directory change notification system.

It has a number of advantages over the Linux::Inotify module:

  • it is portable (Linux::Inotify only works on x86)
  • the equivalent of fullname works correctly
  • it is better documented
  • it has callback-style interface, which is better suited for integration.

As for the inotify API itself - it is a very tricky, and somewhat unreliable API. For a good overview of the challenges you might run into, see this LWN article: https://lwn.net/Articles/605128/.
