Details

Since Linux 5.9 the kernel is able to report inotify-compatible events via the fanotify API. Support for fanotify is already available in inotify-tools, but not enabled for this package. When enabled, two additional binaries fsnotifywait and fsnotifywatch will be compiled and installed. AFAICT it's just the flag `--enable-fanotify` that needs to be added to `./configure`.
