Cross platform file modification tracking

I'd like to be able to track file modifications to a set of files in a platform-agnostic way.
I don't need any particular information, just the file's full path will do.



I'd prefer to avoid:




  • Looping constantly over the files. That's just horrible!


  • Writing platform-specific code. Especially for Windows or Mac OS X,
    since I have no access to machines running any of those.







Disclaimer: I've noticed similar questions on SO, but since most are over 4 years old, I feel this may have changed a lot since then, and they may be outdated.
