(filewatch/add watcher path flag & more-flags)
Add a path to the watcher. Available flags depend on the current
OS, and are as follows:
Windows/MINGW (flags correspond to `FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_*` flags in
win32 documentation):
* `:all` - trigger an event for all of the below triggers.
* `:attributes` - `FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_ATTRIBUTES`
* `:creation` - `FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_CREATION`
* `:dir-name` - `FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_DIR_NAME`
* `:last-access` - `FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_LAST_ACCESS`
* `:last-write` - `FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_LAST_WRITE`
* `:security` - `FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_SECURITY`
* `:size` - `FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_SIZE`
* `:recursive` - watch subdirectories recursively
Linux (flags correspond to `IN_*` flags from <sys/inotify.h>):
* `:access` - `IN_ACCESS`
* `:all` - `IN_ALL_EVENTS`
* `:attrib` - `IN_ATTRIB`
* `:close-nowrite` - `IN_CLOSE_NOWRITE`
* `:close-write` - `IN_CLOSE_WRITE`
* `:create` - `IN_CREATE`
* `:delete` - `IN_DELETE`
* `:delete-self` - `IN_DELETE_SELF`
* `:ignored` - `IN_IGNORED`
* `:modify` - `IN_MODIFY`
* `:move-self` - `IN_MOVE_SELF`
* `:moved-from` - `IN_MOVED_FROM`
* `:moved-to` - `IN_MOVED_TO`
* `:open` - `IN_OPEN`
* `:q-overflow` - `IN_Q_OVERFLOW`
* `:unmount` - `IN_UNMOUNT`
On Windows, events will have the following possible types:
* `:unknown`
* `:added`
* `:removed`
* `:modified`
* `:renamed-old`
* `:renamed-new`
On Linux, events will have a `:type` corresponding to the possible
flags, excluding `:all`.
