Hi:

I know on windows there is a way to determine when the contents of a directory changes and for what reason the change has occurred, file created/deleted etc.

Is there an equivalent in the boost.filesystem library?

Cheers

Sean.

I guess you need file_monitor asio extention, developed by Boris Schaeling:

Hi:
Thank you Igor/boris, this works fantastically.
Are there currently any plans to add this to the main library?
Cheers
Sean.
