File system notifications for Go
fsnotify utilizes golang.org/x/sys rather than syscall from the standard library. Ensure you have the latest version installed by running:
go get -u golang.org/x/sys/...
Cross platform: Windows, Linux, BSD and OS X.

API stability
fsnotify is a fork of howeyc/fsnotify with a new API as of v1.0. The API is based on this design document.
All releases are tagged based on Semantic Versioning. Further API changes are planned, and will be tagged with a new major revision number.
Go 1.6 supports dependencies located in the vendor/ folder. Unless you are creating a library, it is recommended that you copy fsnotify into vendor/github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify within your project, and likewise for golang.org/x/sys.
