in linux a program can be notified of changes in a directory over the
"dnotify" or "inotify" mechanism.
is there a similar mechanism or port of these programs in OpenBSD?

In article <1183641431.4...@k79g2000hse.googlegroups.com>,

kqueue(2) is the `equivalent'. There are some subtle differences.

If you want some comparison, the source to qt4 contains both BSD and Linux
support code for this kind of thing.

Somewhat off-topic: Marc, I appreciate your presence on this ng. Thanks.
