+          Say Y here to enable inotify support and the /dev/inotify character
+          device.  Inotify is a file change notification system and a
+          replacement for dnotify.  Inotify fixes numerous shortcomings in
+          dnotify and introduces several new features.  It allows monitoring
+          of both files and directories via a single open fd.  Multiple file
+          events are supported.
