Expand description

Monitoring API for filesystem events.

Fanotify is a Linux-only API to monitor filesystems events.

Additional capabilities compared to the inotify API include the ability to monitor all of the objects in a mounted filesystem, the ability to make access permission decisions, and the possibility to read or modify files before access by other applications.

For more documentation, please read fanotify(7).
