module INotify
  # Notifier wraps a single instance of inotify.
  # It's possible to have more than one instance,
  # but usually unnecessary.
  #
  # @example
  #   # Create the notifier
  #   notifier = INotify::Notifier.new
  #
  #   # Run this callback whenever the file path/to/foo.txt is read
  #   notifier.watch("path/to/foo.txt", :access) do
  #     puts "Foo.txt was accessed!"
  #   end
  #
  #   # Watch for any file in the directory being deleted
  #   # or moved out of the directory.
  #   notifier.watch("path/to/directory", :delete, :moved_from) do |event|
  #     # The #name field of the event object contains the name of the affected file
  #     puts "#{event.name} is no longer in the directory!"
  #   end
  #
  #   # Nothing happens until you run the notifier!
  #   notifier.run

    # Watches a file or directory for changes,
    # calling the callback when there are.
    # This is only activated once \{#process} or \{#run} is called.
    #
    # **Note that by default, this does not recursively watch subdirectories
    # of the watched directory**.
    # To do so, use the `:recursive` flag.
    #
    # ## Flags
    #
    # `:access`
    # : A file is accessed (that is, read).
    #
    # `:attrib`
    # : A file's metadata is changed (e.g. permissions, timestamps, etc).
    #
    # `:close_write`
    # : A file that was opened for writing is closed.
    #
    # `:close_nowrite`
    # : A file that was not opened for writing is closed.
    #
    # `:modify`
    # : A file is modified.
    #
    # `:open`
    # : A file is opened.
    #
    # ### Directory-Specific Flags
    #
    # These flags only apply when a directory is being watched.
    #
    # `:moved_from`
    # : A file is moved out of the watched directory.
    #
    # `:moved_to`
    # : A file is moved into the watched directory.
    #
    # `:create`
    # : A file is created in the watched directory.
    #
    # `:delete`
    # : A file is deleted in the watched directory.
    #
    # `:delete_self`
    # : The watched file or directory itself is deleted.
    #
    # `:move_self`
    # : The watched file or directory itself is moved.
    #
    # ### Helper Flags
    #
    # These flags are just combinations of the flags above.
    #
    # `:close`
    # : Either `:close_write` or `:close_nowrite` is activated.
    #
    # `:move`
    # : Either `:moved_from` or `:moved_to` is activated.
    #
    # `:all_events`
    # : Any event above is activated.
    #
    # ### Options Flags
    #
    # These flags don't actually specify events.
    # Instead, they specify options for the watcher.
    #
    # `:onlydir`
    # : Only watch the path if it's a directory.
    #
    # `:dont_follow`
    # : Don't follow symlinks.
    #
    # `:mask_add`
    # : Add these flags to the pre-existing flags for this path.
    #
    # `:oneshot`
    # : Only send the event once, then shut down the watcher.
    #
    # `:recursive`
    # : Recursively watch any subdirectories that are created.
    #   Note that this is a feature of rb-inotify,
    #   rather than of inotify itself, which can only watch one level of a directory.
    #   This means that the {Event#name} field
    #   will contain only the basename of the modified file.
    #   When using `:recursive`, {Event#absolute_name} should always be used.
    #
    # @param path [String] The path to the file or directory
    # @param flags [Array] Which events to watch for
    # @yield [event] A block that will be called
    #   whenever one of the specified events occur
    # @yieldparam event [Event] The Event object containing information
    #   about the event that occured
    # @return [Watcher] A Watcher set up to watch this path for these events
    # @raise [SystemCallError] if the file or directory can't be watched,
    #   e.g. if the file isn't found, read access is denied,
    #   or the flags don't contain any events
