Propose as replacement for exp/inotify

[uriel]

This seems much more complete than exp/inotify, maybe you could propose it for inclusion in the main distribution?

Great work, thanks!

Yes, I had tried before very early on without much success. Perhaps once I'm more confident it's robust enough, and I can find someone on the Go Project to root for it I will try again.

This is the relevant issue on Go issue tracker.

@rsc proposed this for Go 1.3. This issue can probably be closed.

Some CLs into go.exp/fsnotify:

• Remove current implementation of WatchFlags https://codereview.appspot.com/100860043/
• API refactor based on http://goo.gl/MrYxyA On Mac OS X a dead symlink prevents Watch() #3 (not final, but something to play with) https://codereview.appspot.com/105370044

Hoping to add FSEvents (OS X) and FEN (Solaris) and stabilize the API by March 1, 2015 for inclusion in Go 1.5.

What's the status on this issue?

Looks like this is a dup of go-fsnotify/fsnotify#1 and golang/go#4068
