The strategy for how entire directory trees are watched under systems that lack recursive file-watching functionality.

  • fixedPollingInterval: Check every directory for changes several times a second at a fixed interval.
  • dynamicPriorityPolling: Use a dynamic queue where less-frequently modified directories will be checked less often.
  • useFsEvents (the default): Attempt to use the operating system/file system's native events for directory changes.
