/*
 * Use as follows:
 * # inotifyd /user/space/agent dir/or/file/being/watched[:mask] ...
 *
 * When a filesystem event matching the specified mask is occurred on specified file (or directory)
 * a userspace agent is spawned and given the following parameters:
 * $1. actual event(s)
 * $2. file (or directory) name
 * $3. name of subfile (if any), in case of watching a directory
 *
 * E.g. inotifyd ./dev-watcher /dev:n
 *
 * ./dev-watcher can be, say:
 * #!/bin/sh
 * echo "We have new device in here! Hello, $3!"
 *
 * See below for mask names explanation.
