Title: What do I do, to add SysCall support to my unit?
Post by: ozznixon on January 11, 2008, 08:38:34 pm

I am porting inotify.h and examples over to FPC.

I need to be able to either include syscallh.inc into my unit, or maybe there is another way I am support to implement kernel calls?

- I know I could simply mod my compile options - but this unit will be contributed to FPC once I have it coded and tester.

inotify is a recent Kernel patch that mimics Window's Shell Notification - mimics as in provides basically the same type of functionality.

Thanks,
O.

Have you tried using the FPC SysCall unit in your code?

Thanks.

Code: [Select]


uses
  SysCall;

begin
  Writeln('Result: ', do_SysCall(syscall_number, arg0, arg1, ...));
end.

Just to be found by search engines:

Inotify routines in the RTL's Linux unit: http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/linux/inotify_init.html

An example I just wrote: https://user.cs.uni-goettingen.de/~kburghar/study/it/pascal/inotify
