By the way, the author of the link I posted previously kindly included
code that he used to solve the prblem on his system. Here it is:
static int
kqueue_stat(struct file *fp, struct stat *st, struct ucred *active_cred,
struct thread *td)
{
struct kqueue *kq;
int error;
if ((error = kqueue_aquire(fp, &kq)))
return ENOENT;
KQ_LOCK(kq);
bzero((void *)st, sizeof(*st));
st->st_size = kq->kq_count;
kqueue_release(kq, 1);
KQ_UNLOCK(kq);
st->st_blksize = sizeof(struct kevent);
st->st_mode = S_IFIFO;
return (0);
}
I have not tested it yet, but I am going to this evening.
