config INOTIFY

---help---
|
|
Say Y here to enable legacy in kernel inotify support. Inotify is a
|
|
file change notification system. It is a replacement for dnotify.
|
|
This option only provides the legacy inotify in kernel API. There
|
|
are no in tree kernel users of this interface since it is deprecated.
|
|
You only need this if you are loading an out of tree kernel module
|
|
that uses inotify.

If unsure, say N.

bool "Inotify support for userspace"

default y
|
|
---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.
