'''Low-level interface to the Linux inotify subsystem.

The inotify subsystem provides an efficient mechanism for file status
monitoring and change notification.

This package provides the low-level inotify system call interface and
associated constants and helper functions.

For a higher-level interface that remains highly efficient, use the
inotify.watcher package.'''
