Overview ¶
Package filenotify provides a mechanism for watching file(s) for changes. Generally leans on fsnotify, but provides a poll-based notifier which fsnotify does not support. These are wrapped up in a common interface so that either can be used interchangeably in your code.
This package is adapted from https://github.com/moby/moby/tree/master/pkg/filenotify, Apache-2.0 License. Hopefully this can be replaced with an external package sometime in the future, see https://github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify/issues/9
