What is the best practice for discovering new file name after receiving kevent(2) NOTE_RENAME on its descriptor? At the moment I am storing fileno from dirent(5) structure together with descriptor and name, and when I receive NOTE_RENAME I re-read directory and use it (fileno) to discover new name, but this obviously requires re-reading entire directory on each NOTE_RENAME. I am wondering is there some more clever way to get this new name (kernel is obviously aware of it, otherwise it couldn't notify descriptor about rename)? Kind regards, Ivanhome | help
