        Description copied from interface: FileEvents
        Starts watching the specified directory or file.

        Caller should call FileWatch.close() when finished watching to release any resources.

        Note: The current implementation does not notify about changes to files in a directory, only the directory itself. This means events will be received when files are created or deleted in the directory, but not when files in the directory are modified.
