Description : watch for files or directory changes without using filesystem events
watcher is a Go package for watching for files or directory changes
(recursively or non recursively) without using filesystem events, which allows
it to work cross platform consistently.
.
It watches for changes and notifies over channels either anytime an event or
an error has occurred. Events contain the os.FileInfo of the file or directory
that the event is based on and the type of event and file or directory path.
.
The features include customizable polling interval, event filtering, recursive
or non-recursive folder watching, ability to ignore hidden files, specified
files and folders, notification of os.FileInfo details, notification of full
file paths or old and new paths in case of Rename or Move events, limitation
on the number of events per watching cycle, listing watched files, and
triggering custom events.
