Description

Watches Linux filesystem events from Python using inotify. It helps tools react when files are created, modified, moved, or deleted, which is useful for sync, rebuild, indexing, and automation workflows.

File watchers can reveal user activity and trigger actions automatically. Limit watched paths and handle bursts, permissions, and symbolic links carefully.
