Sure it can, it simply abstracts away the platform-dependent API and allows to adjust the imlementation depending on the platform. By providing a class this would be as easy as #ifdef'ing the implementation code, though in the case of Qt its a bit more complex. Qt has implementations for linux' inotify and dnotify, kqueue from BSD, fsevents from mac (if I understand that correctly) and windows API too. It also has a polling-fallback if none of the above are available.
