+ 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.
+ 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.rst>
+
+ If unsure, say Y.
