Check time of file modification. If it's changed probable file was changed to.
There is no 100% assurance that is was, but it works much faster then check by hash.

## Install

`npm i ischanged --save`

## Hot to use?

```js
const ischanged = require('ischanged');

const is = await ischanged('/etc/passwd');
// returns
true

await ischanged('/etc/passwd');
// returns
false
```

## How it works?

`Ischanged` saves time of file modification to file `ischanged/<uid>/changes.json`
in Temp directory and then checks whas it changed or not.

So it something like `watch` but:

- should be called by hand;
- could detect modifications after restart of application;
