```bash
$ watchman since /path/to/dir <clockspec> [patterns]
```
Finds all files that were modified since the specified clockspec that
match the optional list of patterns. If no patterns are specified,
all modified files are returned.
The response includes a `files` array, each element of which is an
object with fields containing information about the file:
```json
{
"version": "2.7",
"is_fresh_instance": true,
"clock": "c:80616:59",
"files": [
{
"cclock": "c:80616:1",
"ctime": 1357617635,
"dev": 16777220,
"exists": true,
"gid": 100,
"ino": 20161390,
"mode": 33188,
"mtime": 1357617635,
"name": "argv.c",
"nlink": 1,
"oclock": "c:80616:39",
"size": 1340,
"uid": 100
}
]
}
```
The fields should be largely self-explanatory; they correspond to
fields from the underlying `struct stat`, but a couple need special
mention:
* **cclock** - The "created" clock; the clock value representing the time that
this file was first observed, or the clock value where this file changed from
deleted to non-deleted state.
* **oclock** - The "observed" clock; the clock value representing the time
that this file was last observed to have changed.
* **exists** - whether we believe that the file exists on disk or not. If
this is false, most of the other fields will be omitted.
* **new** - this is only set in cases where the file results were generated as
part of a time or clock based query, such as the `since` command. If the
`cclock` value for the file is newer than the time you specified then the file
entry is marked as `new`. This allows you to more easily determine if the file
was newly created without having to maintain a lot of state.
