/** @file
 *
 * This example implements a file system with a single file whose
 * contents change dynamically: it always contains the current time.
 *
 * While notify_store_retrieve.c uses fuse_lowlevel_notify_store() to
 * actively push the updated data into the kernel cache, this example
 * uses fuse_lowlevel_notify_inval_inode() to notify the kernel that
 * the cache has to be invalidated - but the kernel still has to
 * explicitly request the updated data on the next read.
 *
 * To see the effect, first start the file system with the
 *  ``--no-notify`` option:
 *
 *     $ notify_inval_inode --update-interval=1 --no-notify mnt/
 *
 * Observe that the output never changes, even though the file system
 * updates it once per second. This is because the contents are cached
 * in the kernel:
 *
 *     $ for i in 1 2 3 4 5; do
 *     >     cat mnt/current_time
 *     >     sleep 1
 *     > done
 *     The current time is 15:58:18
 *     The current time is 15:58:18
 *     The current time is 15:58:18
 *     The current time is 15:58:18
 *     The current time is 15:58:18
 *
 * If you instead enable the notification functions, the changes become
 * visible:
 *
 *      $ notify_inval_inode --update-interval=1 mnt/
 *      $ for i in 1 2 3 4 5; do
 *      >     cat mnt/current_time
 *      >     sleep 1
 *      > done
 *      The current time is 15:58:40
 *      The current time is 15:58:41
 *      The current time is 15:58:42
 *      The current time is 15:58:43
 *      The current time is 15:58:44
 *
 * ## Compilation ##
 *
 *     gcc -Wall notify_inval_inode.c `pkg-config fuse3 --cflags --libs` -o notify_inval_inode
 *
