That's nice, would like to see any modifications and improvements!

I'm realizing it was already in my fork. There is no explicit mention of close in the source code but you can now say.

var watch = watchFile('somepath',somecallback);
...
watch.close();

Here's a review of what it does. jvonmitchell@22e5936#diff-481962e7a473d9939d95e86648f023ee

All it does is expose the underlying listener so that you can close it. If any one wants to build a better return object that's ok with me. The idea is that the call to watch was exposing nothing so we might as well make it something.

One flaw with the way it is done is that it may return a listener or a [] so you have to watch for that. That's why there is a good argument for a better return object.

PS, yuanchuan: I want to apologize for writing something that may seem out of context. Someone emailed me asking for the updated code. I thought those emails were sent to me from this issue. Hence the sillyness. Feel free to use the changes I made.

Ok. I now have a branch that returns an instance of an internal class that we can define behaviors for our return object in. I implemented close. More things could be implemented.

The branch is called returnObject.
