You won't get that merge approved, as it only works with one OS. Check this thread: #191

@radu-munteanu, you mean it does not work in one OS?

I totally understand that fsnotify tends to be as cross-platform as possible. But not implementing something rather essential I cannot. Besides windows has file locking so combination of file locking and Op.Write event should give windows programmer freedom to implement the same functionality as getting Op.Close on linux.

@betim - I'd recommend switching to this fork as it'll better suit your needs by supporting IN_CLOSE_WRITE https://github.com/ericbrisrubio/fsnotify

@bevand10, Dave, if there is no IN_CLOSE_WRITE or similar operation how would one implement processing of newly created or changed files? I personally, being a nub tho, don't know how that could be implemented.

Without CLOSE operation the fsnotify seems to have next to now real-world application at all.

@bevand10 - I'm using my own fork for this, it works very well.

Thanks for the PR. We would like to spin out a inotify package with support for all OS features on Linux, but fsnotify itself needs a common API across every OS.
