//! Cross-platform file system notification library
//!
//! # Installation
//!
//! ```toml
//! [dependencies]
//! notify = "6.1.1"
//! ```
//!
//! If you want debounced events (or don't need them in-order), see [notify-debouncer-mini](https://docs.rs/notify-debouncer-mini/latest/notify_debouncer_mini/)
//! or [notify-debouncer-full](https://docs.rs/notify-debouncer-full/latest/notify_debouncer_full/).
//!
//! ## Features
//!
//! List of compilation features, see below for details
//!
//! - `serde` for serialization of events
//! - `macos_fsevent` enabled by default, for fsevent backend on macos
//! - `macos_kqueue` for kqueue backend on macos
//! - `crossbeam-channel` enabled by default, see below
//!
//! ### Serde
//!
//! Events are serializable via [serde](https://serde.rs) if the `serde` feature is enabled:
//!
//! ```toml
//! notify = { version = "6.1.1", features = ["serde"] }
//! ```
//!
//! ### Crossbeam-Channel & Tokio
//!
//! By default crossbeam-channel is used internally by notify. Which also allows the [Watcher] to be sync.
//! This can [cause issues](https://github.com/notify-rs/notify/issues/380) when used inside tokio.
//!
//! You can disable crossbeam-channel, letting notify fallback to std channels via
//!
//! ```toml
//! notify = { version = "6.1.1", default-features = false, features = ["macos_kqueue"] }
//! // Alternatively macos_fsevent instead of macos_kqueue
//! ```
//! Note the `macos_kqueue` requirement here, otherwise no native backend is available on macos.
//!
//! # Known Problems
//!
//! ### Network filesystems
//!
//! Network mounted filesystems like NFS may not emit any events for notify to listen to.
//! This applies especially to WSL programs watching windows paths ([issue #254](https://github.com/notify-rs/notify/issues/254)).
//!
//! A workaround is the [PollWatcher] backend.
//!
//! ### Docker with Linux on MacOS M1
//!
//! Docker on macos M1 [throws](https://github.com/notify-rs/notify/issues/423) `Function not implemented (os error 38)`.
//! You have to manually use the [PollWatcher], as the native backend isn't available inside the emulation.
//!
//! ### MacOS, FSEvents and unowned files
//!
//! Due to the inner security model of FSEvents (see [FileSystemEventSecurity](https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Conceptual/FSEvents_ProgGuide/FileSystemEventSecurity/FileSystemEventSecurity.html)),
//! some events cannot be observed easily when trying to follow files that do not
//! belong to you. In this case, reverting to the pollwatcher can fix the issue,
//! with a slight performance cost.
//!
//! ### Editor Behaviour
//!
//! If you rely on precise events (Write/Delete/Create..), you will notice that the actual events
//! can differ a lot between file editors. Some truncate the file on save, some create a new one and replace the old one.
//! See also [this](https://github.com/notify-rs/notify/issues/247) and [this](https://github.com/notify-rs/notify/issues/113#issuecomment-281836995) issues for example.
//!
//! ### Parent folder deletion
//!
//! If you want to receive an event for a deletion of folder `b` for the path `/a/b/..`, you will have to watch its parent `/a`.
//! See [here](https://github.com/notify-rs/notify/issues/403) for more details.
//!
//! ### Pseudo Filesystems like /proc, /sys
//!
//! Some filesystems like `/proc` and `/sys` on *nix do not emit change events or use correct file change dates.
//! To circumvent that problem you can use the [PollWatcher] with the `compare_contents` option.
//!
//! ### Linux: Bad File Descriptor / No space left on device
//!
//! This may be the case of running into the max-files watched limits of your user or system.
//! (Files also includes folders.) Note that for recursive watched folders each file and folder inside counts towards the limit.
//!
//! You may increase this limit in linux via
//! ```sh
//! sudo sysctl fs.inotify.max_user_instances=8192 # example number
//! sudo sysctl fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 # example number
//! sudo sysctl -p
//! ```
//!
//! Note that the [PollWatcher] is not restricted by this limitation, so it may be an alternative if your users can't increase the limit.
//!
//! ### Watching large directories
//!
//! When watching a very large amount of files, notify may fail to receive all events.
//! For example the linux backend is documented to not be a 100% reliable source. See also issue [#412](https://github.com/notify-rs/notify/issues/412).
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! For more examples visit the [examples folder](https://github.com/notify-rs/notify/tree/main/examples) in the repository.
//!
//! ```rust
//! # use std::path::Path;
//! use notify::{Watcher, RecommendedWatcher, RecursiveMode, Result};
//!
//! fn main() -> Result<()> {
//! // Automatically select the best implementation for your platform.
//! let mut watcher = notify::recommended_watcher(|res| {
//! match res {
//! Ok(event) => println!("event: {:?}", event),
//! Err(e) => println!("watch error: {:?}", e),
//! }
//! })?;
//!
//! // Add a path to be watched. All files and directories at that path and
//! // below will be monitored for changes.
//! # #[cfg(not(any(
//! # target_os = "freebsd",
//! # target_os = "openbsd",
//! # target_os = "dragonflybsd",
//! # target_os = "netbsd")))]
//! # { // "." doesn't exist on BSD for some reason in CI
//! watcher.watch(Path::new("."), RecursiveMode::Recursive)?;
//! # }
//!
//! Ok(())
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! ## With different configurations
//!
//! It is possible to create several watchers with different configurations or implementations that
//! all call the same event function. This can accommodate advanced behaviour or work around limits.
//!
//! ```rust
//! # use notify::{RecommendedWatcher, RecursiveMode, Result, Watcher};
//! # use std::path::Path;
//! #
//! # fn main() -> Result<()> {
//! fn event_fn(res: Result<notify::Event>) {
//! match res {
//! Ok(event) => println!("event: {:?}", event),
//! Err(e) => println!("watch error: {:?}", e),
//! }
//! }
//!
//! let mut watcher1 = notify::recommended_watcher(event_fn)?;
//! // we will just use the same watcher kind again here
//! let mut watcher2 = notify::recommended_watcher(event_fn)?;
//! # #[cfg(not(any(
//! # target_os = "freebsd",
//! # target_os = "openbsd",
//! # target_os = "dragonflybsd",
//! # target_os = "netbsd")))]
//! # { // "." doesn't exist on BSD for some reason in CI
//! # watcher1.watch(Path::new("."), RecursiveMode::Recursive)?;
//! # watcher2.watch(Path::new("."), RecursiveMode::Recursive)?;
//! # }
//! // dropping the watcher1/2 here (no loop etc) will end the program
//! #
//! # Ok(())
//! # }
//! ```
