Research direction
The task is in the --watch-path section of the Node.js CLI API docs, which currently says the option is only supported on macOS and Windows. Start by checking PR #45098 to confirm Linux support, then run node --watch-path on Linux to verify it works. Done when the docs no longer exclude Linux and the platform note matches the actual behavior.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
The docs for --watch-path claims;
This option is only supported on macOS and Windows. An ERR_FEATURE_UNAVAILABLE_ON_PLATFORM exception will be thrown when the option is used on a platform that does not support it.
This is no longer the case. The fix was merged up back in 2022.
