+config INOTIFY
+ bool "Inotify file change notification support"
+ default y
+ ---help---
+ Say Y here to enable inotify support. Inotify is a file change
+ notification system and a replacement for dnotify. 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.
+
+config INOTIFY_USER
+ bool "Inotify support for userspace"
+ depends on INOTIFY
+ 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.
+
+ For more information, see <file:Documentation/filesystems/inotify.txt>

+ If unsure, say Y.
