For Solaris do note the comment "The behaviour depends on the monitor. Solaris File Events Notification will tell you that a directory has changed when a file has been created, but won't give you any more details. It's up to the receiver to scan the directory contents and see what file has been created." at github.com/emcrisostomo/fswatch/issues/228

Also, note the license is GPL v3.0, so you should avoid statically linking to libfswatch (but dynamically link to its shared library instead) or prefer using the fswatch utility instead if you don't want to be forced to share the source code of your app too. Regarding having to share fswatch's source code, guess sharing a URL to its source code repository should be enough (that one has the most up to date version of the code anyway).
