:module: watchdog.observers.kqueue
:synopsis: ``kqueue(2)`` based emitter implementation.
:author: yesudeep@google.com (Yesudeep Mangalapilly)
:platforms: Mac OS X and BSD with kqueue(2).

.. WARNING:: kqueue is a very heavyweight way to monitor file systems.
             Each kqueue-detected directory modification triggers
             a full directory scan. Traversing the entire directory tree
             and opening file descriptors for all files will create
             performance problems. We need to find a way to re-scan
             only those directories which report changes and do a diff
             between two sub-DirectorySnapshots perhaps.

.. ADMONITION:: About ``select.kqueue`` and Python versions

    * Python 2.5 does not ship with ``select.kqueue``
    * Python 2.6 ships with a broken ``select.kqueue`` that cannot take
      multiple events in the event list passed to ``kqueue.control``.
    * Python 2.7 ships with a working ``select.kqueue``
      implementation.

    I have backported the Python 2.7 implementation to Python 2.5 and 2.6
    in the ``select_backport`` package available on PyPI.

.. ADMONITION:: About OS X performance guidelines

    Quote from the `Mac OS X File System Performance Guidelines`_:

        "When you only want to track changes on a file or directory, be sure to
        open it using the ``O_EVTONLY`` flag. This flag prevents the file or
        directory from being marked as open or in use. This is important
        if you are tracking files on a removable volume and the user tries to
        unmount the volume. With this flag in place, the system knows it can
        dismiss the volume. If you had opened the files or directories without
        this flag, the volume would be marked as busy and would not be
        unmounted."

    ``O_EVTONLY`` is defined as ``0x8000`` in the OS X header files.

    kqueue(2)-based event emitter.

    .. ADMONITION:: About ``kqueue(2)`` behavior and this implementation

              ``kqueue(2)`` monitors file system events only for
              open descriptors, which means, this emitter does a lot of
              book-keeping behind the scenes to keep track of open
              descriptors for every entry in the monitored directory tree.

              This also means the number of maximum open file descriptors
              on your system must be increased **manually**.
              Usually, issuing a call to ``ulimit`` should suffice::

                  ulimit -n 1024

              Ensure that you pick a number that is larger than the
              number of files you expect to be monitored.

              ``kqueue(2)`` does not provide enough information about the
              following things:

              * The destination path of a file or directory that is renamed.
              * Creation of a file or directory within a directory; in this
                case, ``kqueue(2)`` only indicates a modified event on the
                parent directory.

              Therefore, this emitter takes a snapshot of the directory
              tree when ``kqueue(2)`` detects a change on the file system
              to be able to determine the above information.

        The event queue to fill with events.
