| 7 | Say Y here to enable inotify support for userspace, including the |
| 8 | associated system calls. Inotify allows monitoring of both files and |
| 9 | directories via a single open fd. Events are read from the file |
| 10 | descriptor, which is also select()- and poll()-able. |
| 11 | Inotify fixes numerous shortcomings in dnotify and introduces several |
| 12 | new features including multiple file events, one-shot support, and |
| 13 | unmount notification. |
