# Usage
# listen [flags] [file(s) to watch] [command(s) to run on file changes]
#
# Flags
# -a, --all if all of the files have changed, required if multiple files
# -o, --any if any one of the files have changed, required if multiple files
# -s to use checksum on file change instead of when the file was modified
# -r, --run immediately run exec command, then start listening
# --timeout=[time] change timeout time in whole seconds (DEFAULT 1 SECOND)
# --help prints help
# GLOBALS
