Does Erlang have some functionality for watching folder when it was changed in real time? Eg., we have a folder and try detect if this folder was changed, we call function for start watching of this folder and if folder size was changed will be output some warning. I know that the Erlang have disksup but looks like as result will be return free space on disk only and this functionality is a similar like $ df -k. I was find some topic for Python watch and I’m interesting if Erlang has a similar built-in functionality.

It is an implementation that does more or less what you want. I don't know if there is a more integrated way of doing it.
The Erlang don't have functionality for monitoring folder from the box, but this can be implemented by custom libraries like:
