  42  * Monitors a file or directory for changes.
  43  *
  44  * To obtain a #GFileMonitor for a file or directory, use
  45  * g_file_monitor(), g_file_monitor_file(), or
  46  * g_file_monitor_directory().
  47  *
  48  * To get informed about changes to the file or directory you are
  49  * monitoring, connect to the #GFileMonitor::changed signal. The
  50  * signal will be emitted in the <link
  51  * linkend="g-main-context-push-thread-default">thread-default main
  52  * context</link> of the thread that the monitor was created in
  53  * (though if the global default main context is blocked, this may
  54  * cause notifications to be blocked even if the thread-default
  55  * context is still running).
