About Storage Kit Utilities:
This class library makes working with the storage kit easier. Included are classes to capture the Attributes and the Node Monitoring system in a set of C++ classes. Documentation & source included.
Class Attribute models a BeOS file system attribute for your application. A new one can be written, an existing one can be opened, and the presence of one can be tested for. The Attribute exists in memory as long as the class Attribute exists.
Class NodeMonitor will watch a file system node for you, and will deliver notifications when a particular file system event happens. You can be informed of attribute changes, directory changes, renames, size/date changes, and so on.
Class DirectoryMonitor is a specialization of NodeMonitor to include directory watching.
Class PathMonitor will simply watch the path of a given file system node, no matter where it gets moved to, and will deliver notifications when a file is renamed or popped into a different directory.
Included are two sample programs: one, the stupid one, will just watch your Trashcan and NetPositive's settings file, and emit notifications when one or the other's properties or contents changes. The second, smart one, is for use in scripting. It can execute any shell script you are to name or describe when a file system event goes off.
