Gamin is a file and directory monitoring system defined to be a subset
of the FAM (File Alteration Monitor) system.
The main goals of the project are:
1. Minimize the security model of FAM -- the daemon runs under the
user account.
2. Simplify the code base, dropping some of the most exotic features
of FAM.
3. Provide an API and ABI compatible replacement for FAM.
4. Try to fix some other issues like resource consumption.
This package provides the Gamin libraries.
Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
The pkg_admin audit command locates any installed package which has been mentioned in security advisories as having vulnerabilities.
Please note the vulnerabilities database might not be fully accurate, and not every bug is exploitable with every configuration.
Problem reports, updates or suggestions for this package should be reported with send-pr.
