### File system events
To poll for file system events:
```ts
const watcher = Deno.watchFs("/");
for await (const event of watcher) {
console.log(">>>> event", event);
// { kind: "create", paths: [ "/foo.txt" ] }
}
```
Note that the exact ordering of the events can vary between operating systems.
This feature uses different syscalls depending on the platform:
- Linux: inotify
- macOS: FSEvents
- Windows: ReadDirectoryChangesW
