762306a36Sopenharmony_ci	  Say Y here to enable inotify support for userspace, including the
862306a36Sopenharmony_ci	  associated system calls.  Inotify allows monitoring of both files and
962306a36Sopenharmony_ci	  directories via a single open fd.  Events are read from the file
1062306a36Sopenharmony_ci	  descriptor, which is also select()- and poll()-able.
1162306a36Sopenharmony_ci	  Inotify fixes numerous shortcomings in dnotify and introduces several
1262306a36Sopenharmony_ci	  new features including multiple file events, one-shot support, and
1362306a36Sopenharmony_ci	  unmount notification.
