Description:

inotifytools_next_event should be non-blocking, when time is 0, as described here: http://inotify-tools.sourceforge.net/api/inotifytools_8h.html#2e121fde1cac7875d25a7e6c3bc57e1a. But it is blocking.

Additional info:
* package version community/inotify-tools 3.14-3

Steps to reproduce:

git clone git@bitbucket.org:krux02/inotifytools_bug.git
cd inotifytools_bug
make
./a.out


The program should exit immediately, because inotifytools_next_event() should return nullptr when there is no event queued up. But instead it just blocks forever.
This task depends upon
