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.

12 new features including multiple file events, one-shot support, and
13 unmount notification.
