fswatch implements ~three kind~four kinds of monitors

DESCRIPTION
     The fswatch command receives notifications when the contents of the specified files or directories are modified.  fswatch implements three kind of monitors:

     -       A monitor based on the File System Events API of Apple OS X.

     -       A monitor based on kqueue, an event notification interface introduces in FreeBSD 4.1 and supported on most *BSD systems (including OS X).

     -       A monitor based on inotify, a Linux kernel subsystem that reports file system changes to applications.

     -       A monitor which periodically stats the file system, saves file modification times in memory and manually calculates changes.
