fswatch implements four kinds of monitors:

* A monitor based on the File System Events API of Apple OS X.
* A monitor based on kqueue, a notification interface introduced in FreeBSD 4.1 (and supported
on most *BSD systems, including OS X).
* A monitor based on the File Events Notification API of the Solaris kernel and its derivatives.
* A monitor based on inotify, a Linux kernel subsystem that reports file system changes to applications.
* A monitor based on ReadDirectoryChangesW, a Microsoft Windows API that reports changes to a directory.
* A monitor which periodically stats the file system, saves file modification times in memory, and
manually calculates file system changes (which works anywhere stat (2) can be used).

The math makes me confused, I have some troubles understanding the carry
rules here: if I have a whole hand of fingers, and need to use one finger
from the other hand, this makes four, right? If so, you got it correct, but
as I'm not certain, I thought it's better to ask.
