I starting work on a file watching mechanism. On *nix systems it is looking to me kqueue, libnotify, and GioFileWatcher are my only solutions - https://developer.gnome.org/gio/stable/GFileMonitor.html

It is a big task so I wanted to verify before I got started. XCB doe not deal with file system is this correct? So file watching via XCB is not a possibility?

Thanks

I know this is a rather short answer, but:

Correct.

  • I totally understand, thanks Ingo, this is just what I was looking for. I couldn't find a concrete answer out there probably because it was so obvious to the XCB community. Thanks! – Noitidart Jun 14 '16 at 04:51
