====== Fam for Win32 ======

For Unix, the Posadis "monitor" module (formerly called ''fam'') uses FAM, a piece of software by SGI that monitors change of files in directories. To port this module for Windows, I wrote a partial implementation of FAM for Win32. It only contains the functionality //I// needed, so it may not work for you. Some quirks:

  * This implementation does not distinguish between ''FamExists'' and ''FamCreated''.
  * Rather than directly calling select, use ''FAMselect''. As a consequence, you don't want to use ''FAMCONNECTION_GETFD''.

This FAM implementation is distributed under the Lesser GNU General Public License. You can use it in commercial programs; however, you need to distribute the source code of any changes you make in the FAM code. You can get the source code [[http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/posadis/pos6/pos6/fam/|here]]:

  * fam_w32.cpp - The implementation
  * fam_w32.h - Header
  * fam.cpp - Posadis module (use this as an example)
