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`.
+## Usage

+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+ "log"
+
+ "github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify"
+)
+
+func main() {
+ watcher, err := fsnotify.NewWatcher()
+ if err != nil {
+ log.Fatal(err)
+ }
+ defer watcher.Close()
+
+ done := make(chan bool)
+ go func() {
+ for {
+ select {
+ case event, ok := <-watcher.Events:
+ if !ok {
+ return
+ }
+ log.Println("event:", event)
+ if event.Op&fsnotify.Write == fsnotify.Write {
+ log.Println("modified file:", event.Name)
+ }
+ case err, ok := <-watcher.Errors:

+ }
+ log.Println("error:", err)

+ }
+ }()

+ err = watcher.Add("/tmp/foo")

@@ -65,6 +112,10 @@ 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.
+**Why don't notifications work with NFS filesystems or filesystem in userspace (FUSE)?**
+
+fsnotify requires support from underlying OS to work. The current NFS protocol does not provide network level support for file notifications.
