Pakket: libinotifytools0 (3.22.6.0-4)

utility wrapper around inotify

inotify (inode notify) is a Linux kernel subsystem that monitors events in filesystems and reports those events to applications in real time via API.

inotify can be used to monitor individual files or directories. When a directory is monitored, inotify will return events for the directory itself and for files inside the directory.

libinotifytools is a thin layer on top of the kernel interface which makes it easy to set up watches on many files at once, read events without having to deal with low-level I/O and several utility functions for inotify-related string formatting.
