One odd thing on windows: if a file is created/deleted under a dir, a ENTRY_MODIFY event on the dir is raised.

Writing a cross platform file monitoring app is a challenge.

Would this mean? write/append i/o maybe attributes changed implementation defined It means the file content but the means by which this is detected is very implementation specific. For example one could poll the file modification time to detect that something has changed or you could get events from the platform to indicate that it has changed. A change to a file attribute may also trigger an ENTRYMODIFY event, again this is implementation specific. -Alan
