Hi,<br />
<br />
Is there a way we can monitor files in a specific directory in UNIX using C Programming Language?<br />
<br />
What I want is, when a file (file1.txt) in a directory (example A directory) is moved to different directory (B directory) my C program will log it in a file. The program will add a line on a log file like:<br />
&quot;file1.txt is moved to B directory&quot; ...<br />
<br />
Is this possible in C? How? Or do you have any other recommendations?<br />
<br />
Thanks a lot.<br />
<br />

Monitor files in a specific directory in C Programming Language in UNIX

Kernel and system programming is the process of creating the software necessary for a computer or device to function and operate other programs. Some operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows) are proprietary, but others, such as the various Linux distributions, are open source.

System Programming

C is a general-purpose, imperative computer programming language, supporting structured programming, lexical variable scope and recursion, while a static type system prevents many unintended operations. By design, C provides constructs that map efficiently to typical machine instructions, so it has found lasting use in applications that had formerly been coded in assembly language, including operating systems as well as various application software for computers ranging from supercomputers to embedded systems. It is distinct from C++ (which has its roots in C) and C#, and many later languages have borrowed directly or indirectly from C.
