chokidar – watch file system changes

chokidar-cli is a cross-platform command line utility to watch file system changes.

Chokidar can be invoked using the chokidar command, without the -cli suffix.

Arguments use the form of runtime flags with string parameters, delimited by quotes. While in principal both single and double quotes are supported by chokidar-cli, the actual command line argument parsing is dependent on the operating system and shell used; for cross-platform compatibility, use double quotes (with escaping, if necessary), as single quotes are not universally supported by all operating systems.

This is free and open source software.
