mrpt::system::CFileSystemWatcher Class Reference

---

Detailed Description

This class subscribes to notifications of file system changes, thus it can be used to efficiently stay informed about changes in a directory tree.

• Windows: Requires Windows 2000 or newer.
• Linux: Requires kernel 2.6.13 or newer. Using this class in an old Linux or other unsoported system (Unix,etc...) has no effect, i.e. no notification will be ever received.
