3. Information about the watchman package on openSuSE Tumbleweed

Information for package watchman:
---------------------------------
Repository : openSUSE-Tumbleweed-Oss
Name : watchman
Version : 4.9.0-5.8
Arch : x86_64
Vendor : openSUSE
Installed Size : 745,0 KiB
Installed : No
Status : not installed
Source package : watchman-4.9.0-5.8.src
Summary : A file watching service
Description :
Watchman exists to watch files and record when they change. It can also trigger
actions (such as rebuilding assets) when matching files change.
* Watchman can recursively watch one or more directory trees (we call them
roots).
* Watchman does not follow symlinks. It knows they exist, but they show up the
same as any other file in its reporting.
* Watchman waits for a root to settle down before it will start to trigger
notifications or command execution.
* Watchman is conservative, preferring to err on the side of caution; it
considers files to be freshly changed when you start to watch them or when it
is unsure.
* You can query a root for file changes since you last checked, or the current
state of the tree
* You can subscribe to file changes that occur in a root
