Polling interval for file creation

[snsinfu]

The v0.2.0 release uses fixed 3-second interval for detecting file creation:

It should work well enough for typical server programs that just reload config file. So this is not a big problem, but shouldn’t the interval be configurable? Is there any better way than periodic polling?

[snsinfu]

At least the timeout argument for poll(2) can be -1 when queue is empty. This way we can eliminate periodic wakeup in most common case (where watched paths exist).

The timeout optimization is implemented: 264ed6c
