Say Y here to enable fanotify suport. fanotify is a file access
|
|
notification system which differs from inotify in that it sends
|
|
and open file descriptor to the userspace listener along with
|
|
the event.

If unsure, say Y.

Say Y here is you want fanotify listeners to be able to make permissions
|
|
decisions concerning filesystem events. This is used by some fanotify
|
|
listeners which need to scan files before allowing the system access to
|
|
use those files. This is used by some anti-malware vendors and by some
|
|
hierarchical storage managent systems.
|
|
|
|
If unsure, say N.
