The API is based on [this design document](http://goo.gl/MrYxyA). + +All [releases](https://github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify/releases) are tagged based on [Semantic Versioning](http://semver.org/). Further API changes are [planned](https://github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify/milestones), and will be tagged with a new major revision number. + +Go 1.6 supports dependencies located in the `vendor/` folder. Unless you are creating a library, it is recommended that you copy fsnotify into `vendor/github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify` within your project, and likewise for `golang.org/x/sys`. + +## Contributing + +Please refer to [CONTRIBUTING][] before opening an issue or pull request. + +## Example + +See [example_test.go](https://github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify/blob/master/example_test.go). + +## FAQ + +**When a file is moved to another directory is it still being watched?** + +No (it shouldn't be, unless you are watching where it was moved to). + +**When I watch a directory, are all subdirectories watched as well?** + +No, you must add watches for any directory you want to watch (a recursive watcher is on the roadmap [#18][]). + +**Do I have to watch the Error and Event channels in a separate goroutine?** + +As of now, yes. Looking into making this single-thread friendly (see [howeyc #7][#7]) + +**Why am I receiving multiple events for the same file on OS X?** + +Spotlight indexing on OS X can result in multiple events (see [howeyc #62][#62]). A temporary workaround is to add your folder(s) to the *Spotlight Privacy settings* until we have a native FSEvents implementation (see [#11][]). + +**How many files can be watched at once?** + +There are OS-specific limits as to how many watches can be created: +* Linux: /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches contains the limit, reaching this limit results in a "no space left on device" error. +* BSD / OSX: sysctl variables "kern.maxfiles" and "kern.maxfilesperproc", reaching these limits results in a "too many open files" error. + +[#62]: https://github.com/howeyc/fsnotify/issues/62 +[#18]: https://github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify/issues/18 +[#11]: https://github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify/issues/11 +[#7]: https://github.com/howeyc/fsnotify/issues/7 + +[contributing]: https://github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md + +## Related Projects + +* [notify](https://github.com/rjeczalik/notify) +* [fsevents](https://github.com/fsnotify/fsevents) + |
