 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.
