Hello! I have a program, that waits for the input file to be written to (using EVFILT_VNODE, fflags = NOTE_EXTEND) to process it. When kevent() returns upon the file's extension, the program calls fstat() to learn the new size of the file. Every once in a while, the fstat still reports the old size and my program goes into kevent() once again. Is this discrepancy "normal"? Thanks! -mi P.S. I would love to avoid having to call fstat() at all, but -- unlike EVFILT_READ -- the EVFILT_VNODE/NOTE_EXTEND does not place any additional results into the event's data :-( Using EVFILT_READ is not straigtforward either, because I mmap input, instead of read-ing it...Received on Tue Jun 13 2006 - 17:55:23 UTC
