   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.
