File Alteration Monitor

      FAM, the File Alteration Monitor, provides an API which applications
    can use to be notified when specific files or directories are changed.

      FAM comes in two parts: famd, the daemon which listens for requests and
    delivers notification, and libfam, a library which client applications can
    use to communicate with FAM.

      If the monitored files are mounted from a remote host, the local FAM
    will attempt to contact FAM on the remote host, and will pass the requests
    on to the remote FAM.

      FAM can also notify its clients when a file starts and stops execution.
    (The IRIX Interactive Desktop uses this to change a program's icon while
    it's running, for example.)

      FAM was originally written for IRIX in 1989 by Bruce Karsh, and was
    rewritten in 1995 by Bob Miller.  This open-source release of FAM builds
    and runs on NetBSD, FreeBSD, Linux, and IRIX, and is the same FAM that
    will be included with IRIX 6.5.8.
