| ---help--- | |
| Say Y here to enable inotify support for userspace, including the | |
| associated system calls. Inotify allows monitoring of both files and | |
| directories via a single open fd. Events are read from the file | |
| descriptor, which is also select()- and poll()-able. | |
| Inotify fixes numerous shortcomings in dnotify and introduces several | |
| new features including multiple file events, one-shot support, and | |
| unmount notification. | |
| For more information, see <file:Documentation/filesystems/inotify.txt> | |
| If unsure, say Y. |
