I checked my 10.3.9 system (still haven't found time to instal the
Tiger I bought from Apple :-), and it is fully documented in there as
well.

The next step is to verify that filesystem updates are kqueue enabled
when using Apple's HFS+ file system. Hmmm... Not too sure about that one.

I suspect the only way to be sure is going to try it with a tiny test
app that displays an alert whenever the content of some watch over
folder is modified.

Any takers ?

Marc
