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