FAM style function on QNX

Hi,
Just a quick one, is it possible to somehow get notification on file
write on QNX? I’m thinking along the lines of FAM on IRIX (and on Linux
these days).

Basically, if any app/utility writes a file to disk, I’d like to know
about it.

Cheers

Garry

Yes, if you write a resource manager cover utility and route all I/O
through it.

Nothing easy then, any pointers to docs on where to start?

There is a thread somewhere in this newsgroup about this whole issue, some
good suggestion where made as well as mention of pitfalls.
