- config INOTIFY
- bool "Inotify file change notification support"
- default n
- ---help---
- Say Y here to enable legacy in kernel inotify support. Inotify is a
- file change notification system. It is a replacement for dnotify.
- This option only provides the legacy inotify in kernel API. There
- are no in tree kernel users of this interface since it is deprecated.
- You only need this if you are loading an out of tree kernel module
- that uses inotify.
- For more information, see <file:Documentation/filesystems/inotify.txt>
- If unsure, say N.
- 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.
