'''High-level interfaces to the Linux inotify subsystem.

The inotify subsystem provides an efficient mechanism for file status
monitoring and change notification.

The watcher class hides the low-level details of the inotify
interface, and provides a Pythonic wrapper around it.  It generates
events that provide somewhat more information than raw inotify makes
available.

The autowatcher class is more useful, as it automatically watches
newly-created directories on your behalf.'''
