[suggestion] Implement command line interface like 'inotifywait' in linux about libinotify-kqueue HOT 4 CLOSED

I'm just an user of libinotify-kqueue, but I think you should ask the author of inotify-tools to port it to *BSD using this library.

Also there's an utility "clsync" that is already ported to FreeBSD. It's not an analog of inotifywait, but may be used in similar purposes. For example waiting for deletion of file "somefile" in directory "/mnt/somedir":

printf "+fsomefile\n+w^$\n-*\n" > /tmp/rules && clsync -Sls -Msimple -t0 -w0 --skip-initialsync -T0 -W/mnt/somedir -R /tmp/rules -r1 -- -d %INCLUDE-LIST% >/dev/null 2>/dev/null

Thanks @xaionaro , I was able to build inotify-tools as a FreeBSD port with the minimal effort. Will submit this port.

I assume that the "inotifywait" you mention here can be easily ported using the library. It is the goal of the project :)

This is already done, thanks.
