     1  // Package filenotify provides a mechanism for watching file(s) for changes.
     2  // Generally leans on fsnotify, but provides a poll-based notifier which fsnotify does not support.
     3  // These are wrapped up in a common interface so that either can be used interchangeably in your code.
