What is gamin

A reimplementation of the FAM library

• File Alteration Monitor
• API and ABI compatible except for restrictions
• Web page

Differences from FAM

Design and implementation changes:

• Reduce security problems
• Dynamic per user daemon
• No portmap dependancy, no C++ deps
• Event flow control
• Restartable
• inotify kernel support
• name is way better

How you can help
