Gamin is a file and directory monitoring system which allows applications to detect when a file or a directory has been added, removed or modified by somebody else.
For example, if a file manager displays a directory to the user, and the user removes one of the files via the command-line, gamin will notify the file manager of this change so that it can update the directory display.
Gamin has been designed as a drop-in replacement for FAM with security and maintainability in mind and can use Linux's advanced inotify service when available.
Le Gamin, near the gallery district in Chelsea, is one of the prime places to witness this phenomenon.
Le Gamin has been a neighborhood hangout for many years, and is authentically French (I hear it's family-owned and run).
In past visits, I've had both sandwiches and omelettes, and have fared better (a Croque Monsieur that was deliciously grilled and very filling), and worse (a wild mushroom omelette that was a little on the dry and bland side).
