hi,
well i tried reading that but that way i'll have to make the program
monitor each and every directory.
when a file is created or deleted or filename modified , a call must
be made to the os kernel .
isn't there any way i can utilize that with any api or package
functions so that i can monitor the whole filesystem but at lesser
expense of cpu n memory

regards
