## This module allows you to monitor files or directories for changes using
## asyncio.
##
## Windows support is not yet implemented.
##
## **Note:** This module uses ``inotify`` on Linux (Other Unixes are not yet
## supported). ``inotify`` was merged into the 2.6.13 Linux kernel, this
## module will therefore not work with any Linux kernel prior to that, unless
## it has been patched to support inotify.
