{- Watches for changes to files in a directory, and all its subdirectories
- that are not ignored, using inotify. This function returns after
- its initial scan is complete, leaving a thread running. Callbacks are
- made for different events.
-
- Inotify is weak at recursive directory watching; the whole directory
- tree must be walked and watches set explicitly for each subdirectory.
-
- To notice newly created subdirectories, inotify is used, and
- watches are registered for those directories. There is a race there;
- things can be added to a directory before the watch gets registered.
-
- To close the inotify race, each time a new directory is found, it also
- recursively scans it, assuming all files in it were just added,
- and registering each subdirectory.
-
- Note: Due to the race amelioration, multiple add events may occur
- for the same file.
-
- Note: Moving a file will cause events deleting it from its old location
- and adding it to the new location.
-
- Note: Modification of files is not detected, and it's assumed that when
- a file that was open for write is closed, it's finished being written
- to, and can be added.
-
- Note: inotify has a limit to the number of watches allowed,
- /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches (default 8192).
- So this will fail if there are too many subdirectories.
