dir-notify-enable

Submitted by admin on Thu, 2006-06-01 00:38

This file controls dnotify, a directory notification mechanism, and will not appear if dnotify support is compiled out. It was introduced with inotify in case some people want to disable dnotify support at runtime.

There are two possible values:

  • 1 - dnotify is enabled (default)
  • 0 - dnotify is disabled
