How to hook file changes?

hello,

Im trying to create some kind of a file change hook on unix machines (should be generic if possible).

Do any of you know how can i write some code that will trigger whenever a file is being modified and then will approve the modifications, or throw an exception if the new content of the file is invalid?

I want to be able to hook specifiec files, and i know to catch any modification that any software will make..
