 ## FAQ
 
-**Are symlinks resolved?**
-Symlinks are implicitly resolved by [`filepath.EvalSymlinks(path)`](https://golang.org/pkg/path/filepath/#EvalSymlinks) when `watcher.Add(name)` is used. If that is not desired, you can use `watcher.AddRaw(name)` to not follow any symlinks before watching. See [example_test.go](https://github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify/blob/master/example_test.go).

 **When a file is moved to another directory is it still being watched?**
 
 No (it shouldn't be, unless you are watching where it was moved to).
