Julie, Just in case you don't hear back from anyone who knows anything about gamin, I looked on my own machine and found (with locate) several files with the name gamin. Many are in the directory /usr/share/doc/gamin-0.1.7/
One of them, README, has some reference information and is below. I am running Fedora 5 and I am on this list since several months ago I had some problem with gamin. I got pissed when it was hogging resources and deleted some file -- the problem went away. Sorry I don't know which file I deleted, but it seems to not have harmed me in any noticable way. You and I may be the only ones on this list. Good luck, bruce [EMAIL PROTECTED] gamin-0.1.7]$ cat README Gamin is a file and directory monitoring system defined to be a subset of the FAM (File Alteration Monitor) system. The main goals of the project are: 1/ minimize the security model of FAM 2/ simplify the code base 3/ provide an API and ABI compatible replacement for FAM 4/ try to fix some other issues like resource consumption The project home page is (temporary) at: http://www.gnome.org/~veillard/gamin/ A mailing list is also available to discuss about this project, see the following URL for subscription informations: http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gamin-list and the on-line archives: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gamin-list/ The CVS base is in the GNOME project CVS base at cvs.gnome.org, the module name is 'gamin'. See http://developer.gnome.org/tools/cvs.html >From an historical point of view, gamin builds from the marmot project authored by James Willcox and Corey Bowers and then heavilly modified to turn it into a minimalist FAM replacement (Francophones will appreciate the filiation from fam to marmot and gamin) This library is available under the terms of the GNU LIBRARY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE, and a copy of it should be found in the source under the COPYING file.
