Dear Experts,
Is there a way to detect when the content of a /dev/vcs* has changed?
I have some code that currently polls, which is obviously sub-optimal.
I was hoping that there would be some trick like look at the
modification time, but I haven't found anything. If this isn't
currently possible, how easily could it be added? What would the
preferred API be, if it were added?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Phil.

The first question would be: why do you want to do this?
