Initial Package Version: 2.3.6
Origin: udev-096, syscall functions generated by Alexander E. Patrakov
Upstream Status: Added to syscall list in 2.4
Description: Adds inotify syscall functions for use in userspace. Minimal
             syscall functions borrowed from udev local implementation to
             provide system inotify support.
Testcase: dovecot-1.0rc2, ./configure --with-notify=inotify
