+GNU Direvent monitors events in the file system directories. For each
+event that occurs in a set of pre-configured directories, the program
+calls an external program associated with it, supplying it with the
+information about the event and the location within the file system
+where it occured.
+
+Interfaces for tracking changes to file systems are highly
+system-specific. Direvent aims to provide a uniform and
+system-independent command-level interface. It is known to work with
+all modern Linux kernels and BSD systems (FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD,
+Darwin).
