fswatch  is a cross-platform, file change monitor that gets notification alerts when the contents of the specified files or directories are altered or modified. It executes four types of monitors on different operating systems such as: A monitor build on the File System Events API of Apple OS X. A monitor based on  kqueue , a notification interface present in FreeBSD 4.1 also supported on many *BSD systems, OS X inclusive. A monitor based on File Events Notification API of the Solaris kernel plus its spin-offs. A monitor based on inotify, a kernel subsystem that shows file system modifications to apps. A monitor based on ReadDirectoryChangesW, a Windows API that records alters to a directory. A monitor that regularly check that status of file system, keeps file modification times in memory, and manually determine file system changes (which works anywhere, where stat can be used). Features of fswatch Supports several OS-specific APIs Allows recursive directory ...
