NAME
gam_server - The Gamin server gathers file events from the kernel and
sends these events to clients.
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/gam_server
DESCRIPTION
Gamin uses a client-server model. gam_server is the server which cen-
tralizes client requests for monitoring files, gathers file events via
File Event Notification kernel API methods (see port_create(3C)), and
then sends modification events to application clients. It also shares
file events when multiple applications monitor the same file.
For configuring gam_server refer to http://www.gnome.org/~veil-
lard/gamin/config.html
