I have to confirm how the buffersize is working for the fileSystemWatcher.
I have found this explanation on google:
The FileSystemWatcher class works by capturing all of the relevant file and older changes and placing them into a buffer.
This is then processed one change at a time until all of the notifications have been dealt with and the buffer is empty. By default, the internal buffer has a size of eight kilobytes (8192 bytes). Each event can take up to sixteen bytes of the buffer for its data, not including the file name.
For the line:
Each event can take up to sixteen bytes of the buffer for its data, not including the file name.
First as I understand the buffer works like a queue system where then each event takes up to 16 bytes of the default 8192 buffer.
*** What is it that takes up to 16 bytes, could an event take less than 16 bytes ?
*** 8192 bytes = (8192 / 16 bytes) = 512 changes in the buffer/queue ?
*** If one of these 512 changes is done, there will then be place for 1 more event in the buffer/queue ?
(This to understand if I might/could need to increase the internalbuffer)
Thank you
