Fields and properties (3)

VirtualPath Root
The virtual path this watcher covers.
TimeSpan Debounce
How long a path must be quiet before its change is reported.
bool HasOverflowed
Whether events were lost since the last ClearOverflow, meaning the only correct response is to rescan.

void Suppress(VirtualPath path)
Ignores events for a path that this program is about to write.
void Observed()
Says the consumer has just rescanned everything, so a creation still pending is no longer news a deletion can cancel.
int Drain(ICollection<FileChange> into)
Takes every change whose debounce window has closed.
void ClearOverflow()
Acknowledges an overflow after rescanning.
