Patterns such as `.*` or `@*` are matched against an item's own name

delivering events. Dependents that prune large trees can now skip
whole families of directories without listing each name.

You can also exclude certain file or directory names so that they are skipped during directory resolution and silently dropped from the event stream. See ``Inotify/Inotify/exclude(names:)`` and <doc:WatchingDirectoryTrees> for details.
You can also exclude certain file or directory names, exactly or by shell pattern, so that they are skipped during directory resolution and silently dropped from the event stream. See ``Inotify/Inotify/exclude(names:)``, ``Inotify/Inotify/exclude(patterns:)`` and <doc:WatchingDirectoryTrees> for details.
All public types conform to `Sendable`, so they can be safely passed across concurrency boundaries.
