NAME
     filewatcherd — run commands in response to file changes

SYNOPSIS
     filewatcherd [-dh] [-w delay_ms] watchtab

DESCRIPTION
     filewatcherd is a daemon inspired by cron, that run commands based on
     file changes instead of time.  In principle it is similar to incron, but
     it's simpler, more limited, and does not depend on anything outside of
     FreeBSD base.

     watchtab describes which paths and what events to watch, and commands to
     run when triggered.

OPTIONS
     The following options are supported by filewatcherd:

     -d, --foreground
	  Don't fork to background and log to stderr.

     -h, --help
	  Display help text.

     -w delay_ms, --wait delay_ms
	  Wait that number of milliseconds after watchtag changes before
	  reloading it.
