//! Cross-platform file system notification library
//!
//! # Installation
//!
//! ```toml
//! [dependencies]
//! notify = "5.0.0-pre.15"
//! ```
//!
//! ## Serde
//!
//! Events are serialisable via [serde] if the `serde` feature is enabled:
//!
//! ```toml
//! notify = { version = "5.0.0-pre.15", features = ["serde"] }
//! ```
//!
//! [serde]: https://serde.rs
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! ```
//! # use std::path::Path;
//! use notify::{Watcher, RecommendedWatcher, RecursiveMode, Result};
//!
//! fn main() -> Result<()> {
//!     // Automatically select the best implementation for your platform.
//!     let mut watcher = notify::recommended_watcher(|res| {
//!         match res {
//!            Ok(event) => println!("event: {:?}", event),
//!            Err(e) => println!("watch error: {:?}", e),
//!         }
//!     })?;
//!
//!     // Add a path to be watched. All files and directories at that path and
//!     // below will be monitored for changes.
//!     watcher.watch(Path::new("."), RecursiveMode::Recursive)?;
//!
//!     Ok(())
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! ## With precise events
//!
//! By default, Notify emits non-descript events containing only the affected path and some
//! metadata. To get richer details about _what_ the events are about, you need to enable
//! [`Config::PreciseEvents`](config/enum.Config.html#variant.PreciseEvents). The full event
//! classification is described in the [`event`](event/index.html) module documentation.
//!
//! ```
//! # use notify::{Watcher, RecommendedWatcher, RecursiveMode, Result};
//! # use std::path::Path;
//! # use std::time::Duration;
//! # fn main() -> Result<()> {
//! # // Automatically select the best implementation for your platform.
//! # let mut watcher = RecommendedWatcher::new(|res| {
//! #     match res {
//! #        Ok(event) => println!("event: {:?}", event),
//! #        Err(e) => println!("watch error: {:?}", e),
//! #     }
//! # })?;
//!
//! # // Add a path to be watched. All files and directories at that path and
//! # // below will be monitored for changes.
//! # watcher.watch(Path::new("."), RecursiveMode::Recursive)?;
//!
//! use notify::Config;
//! watcher.configure(Config::PreciseEvents(true))?;
//!
//! # Ok(())
//! # }
//!
//! ```
//!
//! ## With different configurations
//!
//! It is possible to create several watchers with different configurations or implementations that
//! all call the same event function. This can accommodate advanced behaviour or work around limits.
//!
//! ```
//! # use notify::{RecommendedWatcher, RecursiveMode, Result, Watcher};
//! # use std::path::Path;
//! #
//! # fn main() -> Result<()> {
//!       fn event_fn(res: Result<notify::Event>) {
//!           match res {
//!              Ok(event) => println!("event: {:?}", event),
//!              Err(e) => println!("watch error: {:?}", e),
//!           }
//!       }
//!
//!       let mut watcher1 = notify::recommended_watcher(event_fn)?;
//!       let mut watcher2 = notify::recommended_watcher(event_fn)?;
//! #     watcher1.watch(Path::new("."), RecursiveMode::Recursive)?;
//! #     watcher2.watch(Path::new("."), RecursiveMode::Recursive)?;
//! #
//! #     Ok(())
//! # }
//! ```
