I starting work on a file watching mechanism. On *nix systems it is looking to me kqueue, libnotify, and GioFileWatcher are my only solutions - https://developer.gnome.org/gio/stable/GFileMonitor.html
It is a big task so I wanted to verify before I got started. XCB doe not deal with file system is this correct? So file watching via XCB is not a possibility?
Thanks
I know this is a rather short answer, but:

Correct.
