| config INOTIFY_USER
| bool "Inotify support for userspace"
| select FSNOTIFY
| 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.
