objective-c - 如何在 OS X 上查看文件更改？

Question

我希望收到写入给定文件的通知——无需轮询，无需从文件中读取，也无需监视父目录和查看文件修改时间戳。我该怎么做？

Answer 1

我找不到一个简单的例子，所以我贡献了我想出的东西以供将来引用:

@interface FileWatch ()
@property(assign) dispatch_source_t source;
@end

@implementation FileWatch
@synthesize source;

- (id) initWithPath: (NSString*) path targetQueue: (dispatch_queue_t) queue block: (dispatch_block_t) handler
{
    self = [super init];

    int descriptor = open([path fileSystemRepresentation], O_EVTONLY);
    if (descriptor < 0) {
        return nil;
    }

    [self setSource:dispatch_source_create(DISPATCH_SOURCE_TYPE_VNODE, descriptor, DISPATCH_VNODE_WRITE, queue)];
    dispatch_source_set_event_handler(source, handler);
    dispatch_source_set_cancel_handler(source, ^{
        close(descriptor);
    });

    dispatch_resume(source);
    return self;
}

- (void) dealloc
{
    if (source) {
        dispatch_source_cancel(source);
        dispatch_release(source);
        source = NULL;
    }
}

@end
