| 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.rst> |

| If unsure, say Y. |
