+This library provides inotify-compatible interface for applications,
+that need to monotor changes happening in a filesystem.  It can be useful
+when porting Linux applications, which often use inotify interface.
+
+The IN_OPEN, IN_CLOSE_WRITE and IN_CLOSE_NOWRITE events are not yet
+implemented, so the relevant tests are known to fail.
