Pakket: libinotifytools0-dev (4.23.9.0-1) [debports]

Development library and header files for libinotifytools0

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.

This package is for development only, providing headers, static libraries and documentation for the libinotifytools library.
