Refer here: howeyc/fsnotify#54

I believe that we can begin with the code I originally contributed to fsnotify, and modify it to suit.

Sounds good to me.

I was thinking it could be a good idea to write unexported wrappers against the various OS X bits and then figure out the exported API from that. Just a thought.

I made a pull request for some (minor) work I did earlier today #2. Mostly reading some of the FSEvents documentation.

I switched the teams around so you have the commit bit on this repo now.

Sadly your day is my night. It's like Ladyhawke.

Lol. It's actually my afternoon, but the first chance to do any work today.
I'll have a go at getting a rough draft working this evening.

Oh, and feel free to copy INTERNALS.md over here too. I felt like it should be under your name, since you wrote it. It probably will end up needing some revisions, at least the second half.

Hi Nathan,

Sorry for the delay getting back to you.
A couple of comments:

• I hacked together a Go proof of concept using Window USN Journals, functionally equivalent to FSEvents in OS X. It might be useful if you want to support Windows.
• I could work on a Linux version if someone could point me to equivalent journalling functionality there. Linux fsnotify just isn't up to the job.

Thanks Peter. I moved this discussion to the fsnotify repository. This repo is specific to fsevents on OS X. Better Windows support would be great! Linux, I have no idea if/what there is for journalling.
