Details

Description: incrontab should be supporting the IN_NO_LOOP symbol (see here: https://inotify.aiken.cz/?section=incron&page=faq&lang=en), but 'incrontab -t' shows that it is not supported. Also, 'incrontab -d' removes that symbol if edited through 'incrontab -e'.


Additional info:
* 'incrontab -V': incrontab 0.5.12


Steps to reproduce: 'incrontabs -e' -> add symbol 'IN_NO_LOOP' to the job -> save and exit -> 'incrontab -d' to reload and validate the table -> 'incrontab -l': job shows up without IN_NO_LOOP symbol
This task depends upon

The linked docs are ancient and not the current source. Even the current source on GitHub looks abandoned. grepping the source code indicates "no loop is now default". Either way, this is not an Arch problem.
