//! Monitoring API for filesystem events.
//!
//! Inotify is a Linux-only API to monitor filesystems events.
//!
//! For more documentation, please read [inotify(7)](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/inotify.7.html).
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! Monitor all events happening in directory "test":
//! ```no_run
//! # use nix::sys::inotify::{AddWatchFlags,InitFlags,Inotify};
//! #
//! // We create a new inotify instance.
//! let instance = Inotify::init(InitFlags::empty()).unwrap();
//!
//! // We add a new watch on directory "test" for all events.
//! let wd = instance.add_watch("test", AddWatchFlags::IN_ALL_EVENTS).unwrap();
//!
//! loop {
//! // We read from our inotify instance for events.
//! let events = instance.read_events().unwrap();
//! println!("Events: {:?}", events);
//! }
//! ```
