Obtains a directory monitor for the given file.
This may fail if directory monitoring is not supported.
If @cancellable is not %NULL, then the operation can be cancelled by
triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation
was cancelled, the error %G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED will be returned.
It does not make sense for @flags to contain
%G_FILE_MONITOR_WATCH_HARD_LINKS, since hard links can not be made to
directories. It is not possible to monitor all the files in a
directory for changes made via hard links; if you want to do this then
you must register individual watches with g_file_monitor().
