Hi All
I am experimenting with some thoughts about how I want to use julia. One of them is to keep an eye on a directory and watch for interesting events. Some examples
- file creation
- file deletion
- file modification
- file move
An example in python ( not my code) is below. I don’t really want to wrapper it in pycall IF there is a builtin or Pkg that does it already as I am trying to leave python behind.
I have searched around but I can’t seem to find anything. Any pointers would be welcome.
