fsnotify

✓ github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify

Watch a directory for file system events.

package main import ( "log" "github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify" ) func main() { watcher, _ := fsnotify.NewWatcher() defer watcher.Close() go func() { for event := range watcher.Events { log.Println("event:", event) } }() watcher.Add("/tmp") select {} }

Debug

Known issues

gotchaOn Linux, fsnotify uses inotify which has per-user limits; watching many files may require increasing limits.

fix

Increase /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches or use a different approach for large directory trees.
