Gamin 是一个文件和目录监控系统，替代 FAM (File Alteration Monitor)。它是一个程序库提供的服务，用来检测文件和目录的改动。Gamin is a file and directory monitoring system defined to be a subset of the FAM (File Alteration Monitor) system. This is a service provided by a library which allows to detect when a file or a directory has been modified.
Gamin 用 inotify 实现了 FAM 标准，与 FAM 兼容，可以完全替代 FAM。它是一个GNOME的项目，但它没有Gnome依赖。
Feature
minimize the security model of FAM, the daemon runs under the user account, it is compatible with SELinux
simplify the code base, dropping some of the most exotic feature of FAM
provide an API and ABI compatible replacement for FAM
try to fix some other issues like resource consumption
