'''Low-level interface to the Linux inotify subsystem. |
|
10 |
||
11 |
The inotify subsystem provides an efficient mechanism for file status |
|
12 |
monitoring and change notification. |
|
13 |
||
14 |
This package provides the low-level inotify system call interface and |
|
15 |
associated constants and helper functions. |
|
16 |
||
17 |
For a higher-level interface that remains highly efficient, use the |
|
18 |
inotify.watcher package.''' |
