Description : Nodejs fast, small, and reliable file system watcher
Sane aims to be fast, small, and reliable file system watcher. It does
that by:
* By default stays away from fs polling because it's very slow and cpu
intensive
* Uses `fs.watch` by default and sensibly works around the various issues
* Maintains a consistent API across different platforms
* Where `fs.watch` is not reliable you have the choice of using the following
alternatives:
* the facebook watchman library (embedded)
* the watchexec library (embedded)
* polling
This package is required to update node-jest: a powerful and widely used
JavaScript test framework.
