NAME
inotify - monitoring filesystem events
DESCRIPTION
The inotify API provides a mechanism for monitoring filesystem events.
Inotify can be used to monitor individual files, or to monitor directo-
ries. When a directory is monitored, inotify will return events for
the directory itself, and for files inside the directory.
