"A daemon that monitors directories for events, such as creating,
deleting or modifying files. It can monitor different sets of directories for
deleting or modifying files. It can monitor different sets of directories for
different events. When an event is detected, direvent calls a specified
external program with information about the event, such as the location
within the file system where it occurred. Thus, \"direvent\" provides an easy
way to react immediately if given files undergo changes, for example, to
