"Since " { $snippet "kqueue" } " can only monitor a single directory, Factor simulates recursive monitors by creating a hierarchy of monitors for every subdirectory. This is transparent to user code."
$nl
"Because " { $snippet "kqueue" } " requires that a file descriptor is allocated for each directory being monitored, monitoring of large directory hierarchies may exhaust file descriptors or exhibit suboptimal performance. Furthermore, unmounting a subdirectory of a recursively-monitored directory is not possible."
"The " { $snippet "kqueue" } " system is limited to monitoring individual files and directories. Monitoring a directory only notifies of files being added and removed to the directory itself, not of changes to file contents."
