sane/src/watchexec_client.js

Sane aims to be fast, small, and reliable file system watcher.

/*
   This file is the executable run by watchexec
   when a change is detected.

   It will extract changes from the environment variables
   set by watchexec and write to stdout in a format
   readable by the file `../watchexec_watcher.js`.
