How to detect file creation in a directory ?

I need to do a program that stay monitoring a directory looking for new
files, but I think that use of "timers" is not the best pratice to build
efficient application. Then, I'm looking for resources (system calls, etc)
that keep the program in idle mode until a occurency of file creation
events, etc.

Thanks,
Luciano.
