Description-en: Ruby library listening to file modifications
This Ruby library listens to file modifications and notifies you about the
changes.
.
It detects file modification, addition and removal, and supports multiple
directories from a single listener. It uses checksum comparison for
modifications made under the same second, and allows supplying regexp-patterns
to ignore and filter paths for better results.
