After having created the directory monitor, I realized that it would not be suitable for everything.

For example, if I needed to know which file was getting modified in the directory, rather than just anything having gotten modified.

Well, in that case we would somehow need to store both the file name and the modified time of the file which changed.

There have been many times over the years that I’ve been wanting a simple capability of monitoring changes in some directory or some files in my system.

Linux has inotify and Windows has WatchDirectory.

The biggest challenge has been to look for something that works seamlessly across operating systems.

So, I thought of creating my own solution!
