NAME
StartNotify -- Starts notification on a file or directory (V36)
SYNOPSIS
success = StartNotify(notifystructure)
D0 D1
BOOL StartNotify(struct NotifyRequest *)Links: NotifyRequest
FUNCTION
Posts a notification request. Do not modify the notify structure while it is active. You will be notified when the file or directory changes. For files, you will be notified after the file is closed. Not all filesystems will support this: applications should NOT require it. In particular, most network filesystems won't support it.
INPUTS
notifystructure - A filled-in NotifyRequest structure
RESULT success - Success/failure of request
BUGS The V36 floppy/HD filesystem doesn't actually send notifications. The V36 ram handler (ram:) does. This has been fixed for V37.
