 * Name: inotify_init
 *
 * Description:
 *  Initializes a new inotify instance and returns a file descriptor

 *
 * Returned Value:
 *  On success, these system calls return a new file descriptor.
 *  On error, -1 is returned and errno is set appropriately.

/****************************************************************************
 * Name: inotify_init1
 *
 * Description:
 *  Initializes a new inotify instance and returns a file descriptor
 *  associated with a new inotify event queue.
 *
 * Input Parameters:
 *  flags - The following values are recognized in flags:
 *    IN_NONBLOCK - Set the O_NONBLOCK file status flag on the new open file
 *      description. Using this flag saves extra calls to fcntl(2) to achieve
 *      the same result.
 *    IN_CLOEXEC - Set the close-on-exec (FD_CLOEXEC) flag on the new file
 *      descriptor. See the description of the O_CLOEXEC flag in open(2) for
 *      reasons why this may be useful.
 *
 * Returned Value:
 *  On success, these system calls return a new file descriptor.
 *  On error, -1 is returned and errno is set appropriately.

 * Name: inotify_add_watch
 *
 * Description:
 *  Adds a new watch, or modifies an existing watch, for the file whose
 *  location is specified in pathname; the caller must have read permission
 *  for this file.  The fd argument is a file descriptor referring to the
 *  inotify instance whose watch list is to be modified.  The events to be
 *  monitored for pathname are specified in the mask bit-mask argument.
 *
 * Input Parameters:
 *  fd - The file descriptor associated with an instance of inotify.
 *  pathname - The path to the file to be monitored.
 *  mask - The bit mask of events to be monitored.
 *
 * Returned Value:
 *  On success, inotify_add_watch() returns a nonnegative watch descriptor.
 *  On error, -1 is returned and errno is set appropriately.

 *
 * Input Parameters:
 *  fd - The file descriptor associated with an instance of inotify.
 *  wd - The watch descriptor to be removed.
 *
 * Returned Value:
 *  On success, inotify_rm_watch() returns zero.  On error, -1 is returned
