Map InodeMetaMod event to 'Updated' on MacOS #279

Closed dwks closed 2 years ago

dwks commented 2 years ago

We have been using fswatch to identify when files in a directory are touched (contents or timestamp modified). On MacOS, file touch events sometimes result in an fsw_event_flag::Updated then IsFile, and sometimes a PlatformSpecific then IsFile event. This is difficult to distinguish from other platform specific events. So we changed the underlying MacOS event type InodeMetaMod to map to fsw_event_flag::Updated (AttributeModified might also be a good choice).
