Monitoring events

Creating the monitor file
The monitor file corresponding to the event must be created to monitor an event.
Writing to the monitor file
The consumer process writes to the monitor file to specify how and when it should be notified of events.
Waiting on events
Monitoring specifications are written to the monitor file.
Unavailable Event Occurrences
For some event producers, there may be event occurrences that cause the monitored event to become invalid.
Using AIX Event Infrastructure for polling
AIX Event Infrastructure does not require that event producers always maintain the current value of events which may be monitored.
Reading Event Data
Event data in AIX Event Infrastructure consists of keyword-value pairs.
