METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR OPERATING SYSTEM EVENT NOTIFICATION MECHANISM USING FILE SYSTEM INTERFACE
First Claim
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a central processing unit (CPU); and
a memory including instructions for an event notification mechanism for monitoring operating system events in an operating system (OS) being executed by said CPU,wherein said OS comprises a kernel comprising a plurality of kernel subcomponents that provide services to one or more applications executing in said OS in a user mode, using system calls to said kernel,wherein said OS event notification mechanism is capable of monitoring events within the kernel, at a level below the user mode level, andwherein said OS event notification mechanism comprises Application Program Interfaces (APIs) that are standard for said OS.

Abstract
A method and structure for OS event notification, including a central processing unit (CPU) and a memory including instructions for an event notification mechanism for monitoring operating system events in an operating system (OS) being executed by the CPU. The OS includes a kernel having a plurality of kernel subcomponents that provide services to one or more applications executing in the OS in a user mode, using system calls to the kernel. The OS event notification mechanism is capable of monitoring events within the kernel, at a level below the user mode level. The OS event notification mechanism includes Application Program Interfaces (APIs) that are standard for the OS.
