  	  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.
