monitoring directory to get the modified file names


Hi all,

I am writing a c program to monitor a directory looking for any changes in the files contained in the directory
and get the modified filename.
I am using sigaction to acheive this. My signal handler recieves a struct siginfo_t, I want to get the
modified filename from the struct siginfo_t. Is this possible or is there any way to get the modified filename.

Try man 2 stat, then look at the st_mtime, st_atime and st_ctime fields of the resulting stat struct.
