+Specific Signals
+----------------
+
+The cmake server may sent signals with the following names:
+
+"dirty" Signal
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The "dirty" signal is sent whenever the server determines that the configuration
+of the project is no longer up-to-date. This happens when any of the files that have
+an influence on the build system is changed.
+
+The "dirty" signal may look like this::
+
+ [== CMake Server ==[
+ {
+ "cookie":"",
+ "inReplyTo":"",
+ "name":"dirty",
+ "type":"signal"}
+ ]== CMake Server ==]
+
+
+"fileChange" Signal
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The "fileChange" signal is sent whenever a watched file is changed. It contains
+the "path" that has changed and a list of "properties" with the kind of change
+that was detected. Possible changes are "change" and "rename".
+
+The "fileChange" signal looks like this::
+
+ [== CMake Server ==[
+ {
+ "cookie":"",
+ "inReplyTo":"",
+ "name":"fileChange",
+ "path":"/absolute/CMakeLists.txt",
+ "properties":["change"],
+ "type":"signal"}
