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.
