Re^6: Any way to determine path being monitored with Win32::ChangeNotify? the mistery of inodes on windows

[soonix]

MSDN says about FileID of GetFileInformationByHandle:

The file identifier and the volume serial number uniquely identify a file on a single computer. To determine whether two open handles represent the same file, combine the identifier and the volume serial number for each file and compare them.

So, it should be possible to simulate inodes on Win32, at least for systemscompilers where ints are big enough and/or someone has taken care that all variables holding inodes have a suitable size.
