# File Event Handling

The information associated with a file event is stored in an instance of FileEventNotifier. The different kinds of file events are represented by the class enumeration FileEventNotifier::m_eType. The list of file events which can be handled or triggered are:

- About to open a file for reading
- About to open a file for writing
- A file was read from
- A file was written to
- Before browsing for a file to read
- Before browsing for a file to write

File events are triggered via the method Kernel::TriggerFileEvent().

File events can be handled as node/attribute events by wrapping them in an aptr template. For example see Kernel::FileEvent
