fam_monitor_collection

Description

fam_monitor_collection() requests monitoring for a collection of files within a directory. The actual files to be monitored are specified by a directory path in dirname, the maximum search depth starting from this directory and a shell pattern mask restricting the file names to look for.

A FAM event will be generated whenever the status of the files change. The possible event codes are described in detail in the constants part of this section.
