This use-case does not need any help from the OS to implement the
feature in Emacs. It should be quite easy to write a function that
runs off the idle timer and checks each file that Emacs visits.
The OP was talking about detecting changes in files that Emacs does
not know about, including in files that are created while Emacs runs.
