Return a watch descriptor.  The watch will look for ASPECT events and
invoke CALLBACK when an event occurs.

ASPECT might be one of the following symbols or a list of those symbols:

access
attrib
close-write
close-nowrite
create
delete
delete-self
modify
move-self
moved-from
moved-to
open

all-events or t
move
close

ASPECT can also contain the following symbols, which control whether
the watch descriptor will be created:

dont-follow
onlydir

Watching a directory is not recursive.  CALLBACK is passed a single argument
EVENT which contains an event structure of the format

\(WATCH-DESCRIPTOR ASPECTS NAME COOKIE)

WATCH-DESCRIPTOR is the same object that was returned by this function.  It can
be tested for equality using `equal'.  ASPECTS describes the event.  It is a
list of ASPECT symbols described above and can also contain one of the following
symbols

ignored
isdir
q-overflow
unmount

If a directory is watched then NAME is the name of file that caused the event.

COOKIE is an object that can be compared using `equal' to identify two matching
renames (moved-from and moved-to).

See inotify(7) and inotify_add_watch(2) for further information.  The
inotify fd is managed internally and there is no corresponding
inotify_init.  Use `inotify-rm-watch' to remove a watch.

The following inotify bit-masks cannot be used because descriptors are
shared across different callers.
