Does not watch file system?
edit> **Until Mac OS X 10.7, FSEvents did not "watch" the filesystem…**
This is an absurd and obviously incorrect way of stating something, but I'm not sure what is being said. Anyone? --Steven Fisher (talk) 20:03, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, that's a confusingly written sentence. Basically, OS X 10.7 added the flag kFSEventStreamCreateFlagFileEvents, which lets you receive file-level events, rather than directory-level events.
- In 10.5, when the user changed file "Documents/GroceryList.doc", fsevents reported "something in the Documents/ folder was modified". In 10.7 and later, when this flag is used, then fsevents will report "the file Documents/GroceryList.doc was modified". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.109.61.123 (talk) 01:40, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
- It does not help that the the citation has long since expired.
