# XXXIII. File Alteration Monitor Functions

# 简介

FAM monitors files and directories, notifying interested applications of changes. More information about FAM is available at http://oss.sgi.com/projects/fam/.

A PHP script may specify a list of files for FAM to monitor using the functions provided by this extension.

The FAM process is started when the first connection from any application to it is opened. It exits after all connections to it have been closed.

> 注: This extension has been moved to the PECL repository and is no longer bundled with PHP as of PHP 5.1.0.

> 注: 本扩展模块不可用于 Windows 平台。

To use PHP's FAM support you must compile PHP --with-fam[=DIR] where DIR is the location of the directory containing the lib and include directories.

# 运行时配置

本扩展模块在 `php.ini` 中未定义任何设置指令。

# 资源类型

## FAM resource

# 预定义常量
