12 * Use as follows:
13 * # inotifyd /user/space/agent dir/or/file/being/watched[:mask] ...
14 *
15 * When a filesystem event matching the specified mask is occured on specified file (or directory)
16 * a userspace agent is spawned and given the following parameters:
17 * $1. actual event(s)
18 * $2. file (or directory) name
19 * $3. name of subfile (if any), in case of watching a directory
20 *
21 * E.g. inotifyd ./dev-watcher /dev:n
22 *
23 * ./dev-watcher can be, say:
24 * #!/bin/sh
25 * echo "We have new device in here! Hello, $3!"
26 *
27 * See below for mask names explanation.
