+# Inotify
+
+A Swift wrapper around the Linux [inotify](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/inotify.7.html) API, built on modern Swift concurrency. It lets you watch individual files or directories for filesystem events, recursively monitor entire subtrees, and optionally have newly created subdirectories watched automatically.
+
+Events are delivered as an `AsyncSequence`, so you can consume them with a simple `for await` loop.
+
+## Adding Inotify to Your Project
+
+Add the package dependency in your `Package.swift`:
+
+```swift
+dependencies: [
+    .package(url: "https://github.com/astzweig/swift-inotify.git", from: "1.0.0")
+]
+```
+
+Then add `Inotify` to your target's dependencies:
+
+```swift
+.target(
+    ...
+    dependencies: [
+        .product(name: "Inotify", package: "swift-inotify")
+    ]
+    ...
+)
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```swift
+import Inotify
+
+let inotify = try Inotify()
+
+// Watch a single file for modifications
+try inotify.addWatch(path: "/tmp/some-existing-file.txt", mask: [.modify])
+
+// Watch a single directory for file creations and modifications
+try inotify.addWatch(path: "/tmp/watched", mask: [.create, .modify])
+
+// Consume events as they arrive
+for await event in await inotify.events {
+    print("Event at \(event.path): \(event.mask)")
+}
+```
+
+## Watching Subtrees
+
+Inotify operates on individual watch descriptors, so monitoring a directory does not automatically cover its children. This library provides two convenience methods that handle the recursion for you.
+
+### Recursive Watch
+
+`addRecursiveWatch` walks the directory tree at setup time and installs a watch on every existing subdirectory:
+
+```swift
+try await inotify.addRecursiveWatch(
+    forDirectory: "/home/user/project",
+    mask: [.create, .modify, .delete]
+)
+```
+
+Subdirectories created after the call are **not** watched.
+
+### Automatic Subtree Watching
+
+`addWatchWithAutomaticSubtreeWatching` does everything `addRecursiveWatch` does, and additionally listens for `CREATE` events with the `isDir` flag. Whenever a new subdirectory appears, a watch is installed on it automatically:
+
+```swift
+try await inotify.addWatchWithAutomaticSubtreeWatching(
+    forDirectory: "/home/user/project",
+    mask: [.create, .modify, .delete]
+)
+```
+
+This is the most convenient option when you need full coverage of a growing directory tree.
+
+## Event Masks
+
+`InotifyEventMask` is an `OptionSet` that mirrors the native inotify flags. You can combine them freely.
+
+| Mask | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `.access` | File was read |
+| `.attrib` | Metadata changed (permissions, timestamps, ...) |
+| `.closeWrite` | File opened for writing was closed |
+| `.closeNoWrite` | File **not** opened for writing was closed |
+| `.create` | File or directory created in watched directory |
+| `.delete` | File or directory deleted in watched directory |
+| `.deleteSelf` | Watched item itself was deleted |
+| `.modify` | File was written to |
+| `.moveSelf` | Watched item itself was moved |
+| `.movedFrom` | File moved **out** of watched directory |
+| `.movedTo` | File moved **into** watched directory |
+| `.open` | File was opened |
+
+Convenience combinations: `.move` (`.movedFrom` + `.movedTo`), `.close` (`.closeWrite` + `.closeNoWrite`), `.allEvents`.
+
+Watch flags: `.dontFollow`, `.onlyDir`, `.oneShot`.
+
+Kernel-only flags returned in events: `.isDir`, `.ignored`, `.queueOverflow`, `.unmount`.
+
+## Removing a Watch
+
+Every `addWatch` variant returns one or more watch descriptors that you can use to remove the watch later:
+
+```swift
+let wd = try inotify.addWatch(path: "/tmp/watched", mask: .create)
+
+// ... later
+try inotify.removeWatch(wd)
+```
+
+## Build Tool
+
+The package ships with a `task` executable (the `TaskCLI` target) that serves as the project's build tool. It spins up a Docker container running `swift:latest` on Linux and executes the full test suite inside it, so you can validate everything on the correct platform even when developing on macOS.
+
+```bash
+swift run task test
+```
+
+Use `-v`, `-vv`, or `-vvv` to increase log verbosity. The command runs two passes: first all tests except `InotifyLimitTests`, then only `InotifyLimitTests` (which manipulate system-level inotify limits and need to run in isolation).
+
+Docker must be installed and running on your machine.
+
+## Documentation
+
+Full API documentation is available as DocC catalogs bundled with the package. Generate them locally with:
+
+```bash
+# Inotify library
+swift package generate-documentation --target Inotify
+
+# Task build tool
+swift package generate-documentation --target TaskCLI
+```
+
+Or preview in Xcode by selecting **Product > Build Documentation**.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Swift 6.0+
+- Linux (inotify is a Linux-only API)
+- Docker (for running the test suite via `swift run task test`)
+

+# ``Inotify``
+
+Monitor filesystem events on Linux using modern Swift concurrency.
+
+## Overview
+
+The Inotify library wraps the Linux [inotify](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/inotify.7.html) API in a Swift-native interface built around actors and async sequences. You create an ``Inotify/Inotify`` actor, add watches for the paths you care about, and iterate over the ``Inotify/Inotify/events`` property to receive ``InotifyEvent`` values as they occur.
+
+```swift
+let inotify = try Inotify()
+try inotify.addWatch(path: "/tmp/inbox", mask: [.create, .modify])
+
+for await event in await inotify.events {
+    print("\(event.mask) at \(event.path)")
+}
+```
+
+Beyond single-directory watches, the library provides two higher-level methods for monitoring entire directory trees:
+
+- ``Inotify/Inotify/addRecursiveWatch(forDirectory:mask:)`` installs watches on every existing subdirectory at setup time.
+- ``Inotify/Inotify/addWatchWithAutomaticSubtreeWatching(forDirectory:mask:)`` does the same **and** automatically watches subdirectories that are created after setup.
+
+All public types conform to `Sendable`, so they can be safely passed across concurrency boundaries.
+
+## Topics
+
+### Essentials
+
+- ``Inotify/Inotify``
+- ``InotifyEvent``
+- ``InotifyEventMask``
+
+### Errors

+# Watching Directory Trees
+
+Monitor an entire directory hierarchy for filesystem events.
+
+## Overview
+
+The Linux inotify API watches individual directories — it does not descend into subdirectories automatically. The ``Inotify/Inotify`` actor offers two convenience methods that handle the recursion for you.
+
+### Recursive Watch
+
+Call ``Inotify/Inotify/addRecursiveWatch(forDirectory:mask:)`` to walk the directory tree once and install a watch on every subdirectory that exists at the time of the call:
+
+```swift
+let inotify = try Inotify()
+let descriptors = try await inotify.addRecursiveWatch(
+    forDirectory: "/home/user/project",
+    mask: [.create, .modify, .delete]
+)
+```
+
+The returned array contains one watch descriptor per directory. Subdirectories created **after** this call are not covered.
+
+### Automatic Subtree Watching
+
+When you also want future subdirectories to be picked up, use ``Inotify/Inotify/addWatchWithAutomaticSubtreeWatching(forDirectory:mask:)`` instead:
+
+```swift
+let descriptors = try await inotify.addWatchWithAutomaticSubtreeWatching(
+    forDirectory: "/home/user/project",
+    mask: [.create, .modify, .delete]
+)
+```
+
+Internally this listens for `CREATE` events carrying the ``InotifyEventMask/isDir`` flag and installs a new watch with the same mask whenever a subdirectory appears.
+
+### Choosing the Right Method
+
+| Method | Covers existing subdirectories | Covers new subdirectories |
+|--------|:----:|:----:|
+| ``Inotify/Inotify/addWatch(path:mask:)`` | No | No |
+| ``Inotify/Inotify/addRecursiveWatch(forDirectory:mask:)`` | Yes | No |
+| ``Inotify/Inotify/addWatchWithAutomaticSubtreeWatching(forDirectory:mask:)`` | Yes | Yes |

+# ``TaskCLI``
+
+The build tool for the Swift Inotify project.
+
+## Overview
+
+`TaskCLI` is a small command-line executable (exposed as `task` in `Package.swift`) that automates project-level workflows. Its primary purpose is running the integration test suite inside a Linux Docker container, so you can validate the inotify-dependent code on the correct platform even when developing on macOS.
+
+### Running the Tests
+
+```bash
+swift run task test
+```
+
+This launches a `swift:latest` Docker container with the repository mounted at `/code`, then executes two test passes:
+
+1. All tests **except** `InotifyLimitTests` — the regular integration suite.
+2. Only `InotifyLimitTests` (with `--skip-build`) — tests that manipulate system-level inotify limits and must run in isolation.
+
+The container is started with `--security-opt systempaths=unconfined` so that the limit tests can write to `/proc/sys/fs/inotify/*`.
+
+### Verbosity
+
+Pass one or more `-v` flags to increase log output:
+
+| Flag | Level |
+|------|-------|
+| *(none)* | `notice` |
+| `-v` | `info` |
+| `-vv` | `debug` |
+| `-vvv` | `trace` |
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+Docker must be installed and running on the host machine. The container uses the `linux/arm64` platform by default.
