How does FileSystemWatcher work?

[Pete]

Does anyone know how this class works "under the covers"?

I want this exact functionality, but do not have the luxury of writing
in .net. I need to access the api functions directly.

TIA,
Pete

Indeed.

FindFirstChangeNotification() and FindNextChangeNotification() are the
key calls.

Thanks everyone
