02582e9b | 8 | Say Y here to enable fanotify support. fanotify is a file access |
ff0b16a9 | 9 | notification system which differs from inotify in that it sends |
6aaccece | 10 | an open file descriptor to the userspace listener along with |

21 | Say Y here is you want fanotify listeners to be able to make permissions | |
22 | decisions concerning filesystem events. This is used by some fanotify | |
23 | listeners which need to scan files before allowing the system access to | |
24 | use those files. This is used by some anti-malware vendors and by some | |
