This allows one to monitor both local and remote (NFS-mounted) files and directories for common filesystem events. To do so, you must register "monitors" on specified pathnames and wait for events to arrive pertaining to them. Since FAM only deals with absolute pathnames, all paths are canonicalized internally and monitors are held on canonical paths. Whenever a path is returned from this module, howvever, via B or B with no arguments, the originally specified path is given for convenience. =head1 MAIN METHODS =head2 B [ I ] Create a new FAM connection. An application name may be given. =cut sub new { my ($class, $appname)=@_; my $rawconn=new FAMConnectionPtr; err $rawconn->Open2($appname or $0); bless {conn => $rawconn, monitors => {}, suspended => {}, reqnums => {}}, $class; } =head2 B True if there is an event waiting. Returns immediately. =cut sub pending { my ($self)=@_; err $self->{conn}->Pending; } =head2 B Returns next event in queue, as an event object. Blocks if necessary until one is available. =cut sub next_event { my ($self)=@_; my $rawev=new FAMEventPtr; err $self->{conn}->NextEvent($rawev); $rawev; } =head2 B I [ I [ I [ I I ] ] ] Monitor the specified file or directory. Expect a slew of events immediately (B and B) which may not interest you. I, if specified and true, will produce a warning if the monitored path is not unique among those already being monitored. This can be helpful for debugging, but normally this is harmless. I may be B, B or B; it defaults to B or B according to an I filesystem entry. If you specify B (collection), pass additional depth and mask arguments, if you ever figure out what that does (SGI does not say). =cut sub monitor { my ($self, $_path, $unique, $type, $depth, $mask)=@_; my $path=abspath($_path); die "Sys::Gamin: `$_path' does not currently exist" unless $type or -e $_path; if (exists $self->{monitors}{$path}) { warn "Sys::Gamin: attempt to re-monitor $_path (canon. $path)" if $unique; return; } my $conn=$self->{conn}; $type=(-d $path ? 'dir' : 'file') unless $type; my $rawreq=new FAMRequestPtr; $rawreq->setreqnum(++$reqcnt); $self->{monitors}{$path}=$rawreq; if ($type eq 'file') { err $conn->MonitorFile2($path, $rawreq); } elsif ($type eq 'dir') { err $conn->MonitorDirectory2($path, $rawreq); } elsif ($type eq 'coll') { err $conn->MonitorCollection($path, $rawreq, undef, $depth, $mask); } else { die "Sys::Gamin: unknown monitor style $type"; } my $reqnum=$rawreq->reqnum; my $orig=$self->{reqnums}{$reqnum}; die "Sys::Gamin: attempt to reuse request numbers from $orig to $_path" if $orig; $self->{reqnums}{$reqnum}=$_path; } =head2 B I Stop monitoring this path. =cut sub check_monitored { my ($self, $path)=@_; die "Sys::Gamin: `$path' is not monitored" unless exists $self->{monitors}{abspath($path)}; } sub cancel { my ($self, $_path)=@_; my $path=abspath($_path); $self->check_monitored($path); err $self->{conn}->CancelMonitor($self->{monitors}{$path}); delete $self->{monitors}{$path}; } =head2 B [ I ] List all currently monitored paths, or check if a specific one is being monitored. Does not check if a monitor is suspended. =cut sub monitored { my ($self, $_path)=@_; if ($_path) { exists $self->{monitors}{abspath($_path)}; } else { my $reqnums=$self->{reqnums}; sort map {$reqnums->{$_->reqnum}} values %{$self->{monitors}}; } } =head2 B I True if the specified monitor is suspended. =cut sub suspended { my ($self, $_path)=@_; my $path=abspath($_path); $self->check_monitored($path); $self->{suspended}{$path}; } =head2 B [ I ] Suspend monitoring of a path, or all paths if unspecified. =cut sub suspend { my ($self, $_path)=@_; if ($_path) { my $path=abspath($_path); $self->check_monitored($path); return if $self->{suspended}{$path}; err $self->{conn}->SuspendMonitor($self->{monitors}{$path}); $self->{suspended}{$path}=1; } else { foreach (keys %{$self->{monitors}}) { unless ($self->{suspended}{$_}) { err $self->{conn}->SuspendMonitor($self->{monitors}{$_}); $self->{suspended}{$_}=1; } } } } =head2 B [ I ] Resume monitoring of a path, or all paths if unspecified. =cut sub resume { my ($self, $_path)=@_; if ($_path) { my $path=abspath($_path); $self->check_monitored($path); return unless $self->{suspended}{$path}; err $self->{conn}->ResumeMonitor($self->{monitors}{$path}); delete $self->{suspended}{$path}; } else { foreach (keys %{$self->{suspended}}) { err $self->{conn}->ResumeMonitor($self->{monitors}{$path}); delete $self->{suspended}{$_}; } } } =head2 B I Gives the pathname for the monitor generating this event. Often this will be the same as C<$event-Efilename>, but will differ in some cases, e.g. in B events where B will yield the basename of the new file while the B method must be invoked to determine the directory of creation, if more than one is being monitored. =cut sub which { my ($self, $event)=@_; my $reqnum=$event->fr->reqnum; $self->{reqnums}{$reqnum} or die "Sys::Gamin: Monitor \x23$reqnum not found for this connection"; } =head1 EVENT METHODS =head2 B Host of event. Does not seem to work, actually. =head2 B Path of event, according to FAM. =head2 B Type of event; one of the following strings: B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B. =head1 BUGS Most of these can be observed with F. =over 4 =item Hostnames Do not seem to be supplied at all. =item Timing Is somewhat erratic. For example, creating a file that had been monitored and deleted will signal a B event on it, after about a second pause. =item Execute Events Are not sent, as far as the author can determine. =back =head1 SEE ALSO For the raw SGI interface (rather poorly documented), see L. =head1 AUTHORS J.
