module ActiveSupport
  # Allows you to "listen" to changes in a file system.
  # The evented file updater does not hit disk when checking for updates
  # instead it uses platform specific file system events to trigger a change
  # in state.
  #
  # The file checker takes an array of files to watch or a hash specifying directories
  # and file extensions to watch. It also takes a block that is called when
  # EventedFileUpdateChecker#execute is run or when EventedFileUpdateChecker#execute_if_updated
  # is run and there have been changes to the file system.
  #
  # Note: Forking will cause the first call to `updated?` to return `true`.
  #
  # Example:
  #
  #     checker = EventedFileUpdateChecker.new(["/tmp/foo"], -> { puts "changed" })
  #     checker.updated?
  #     # => false
  #     checker.execute_if_updated
  #     # => nil
  #
  #     FileUtils.touch("/tmp/foo")
  #
  #     checker.updated?
  #     # => true
  #     checker.execute_if_updated
  #     # => "changed"
