While in theory just a wrapper for VNODE events, there are some edge cases:
- Observe missing file: Report when created (observe all ancestors to know).
- Rename ancestor: Treat as rename (observe all ancestors to know).
- Move observed file to trash: Treat as delete (reported as rename).
- Rename file with symbolic link in path (e.g. /tmp): Preserve symbolic path.
- Delete observed file and write new one: Treat as a write (reported as delete).
- Rename observed file and write new one: Treat as a write (reported as rename).
- Change case of file: Tricky on case-insensitive but preserving file systems because newPath != oldPath but both exist, so it looks the same as “rename and write new file” (previous case) that should be reported as write.
There is also an issue observing a symbolic link, here we should really observe both the link itself (does it get renamed or deleted) but also the resolved path (does this file get updated).
Currently though this is NOT implemented.
