Hi Robert,

currently dazukofs does only support "OnOpen" events. There are
plans by us (Avira) to support also "OnClose" notification in the
dazukofs modules shipped with our antivir-software "unix guard".
These modules are slightly modified dazukofs modules. 
This may take a while, though.

But did you think of using inotify in your applications? Dazukofs
provides you with an open file descriptor and there is also a function
(dazukofs_get_filename()) to retrieve the file path for a specific
descriptor.
This could be used to watch the file with an inotify watch. With this
you should be able to get all the event notifications you need.
