Similar to inotify in c++, is there any way in Boost library to monitor file changes? My C++ program doesn't have inotify.h in the sys folder. I am searching for an alternative program with similar function in Boost.

3Note: inotify is not something C++ specific, but a [linux kernel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inotify) feature. – hellow Jul 24 '18 at 12:49

No, boost doesn't offer file monitoring. Are you looking for a cross-platform solution? or just Linux? – Weston Nov 09 '18 at 11:01

No, as mentioned in above comments. But take a look at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/931093/how-do-i-make-my-program-watch-for-file-modification-in-c for further information. – Shriganesh Shintre Jan 07 '19 at 21:11
