- a subset of the FAM (File Alteration Monitor) system.
-
- The main goals of the project are:
- 1/ minimize the security model of FAM
- 2/ simplify the code base
- 3/ provide an API and ABI compatible replacement for FAM
- 4/ try to fix some other issues like resource consumption

- From an historical point of view, gamin builds from the marmot project
- authored by James Willcox and Corey Bowers and then heavilly modified
- to turn it into a minimalist FAM replacement (Francophones will
- appreciate the filiation from fam to marmot and gamin)
