| 7 | Say Y here to enable fanotify suport. fanotify is a file access |
| 8 | notification system which differs from inotify in that it sends |

| 20 | Say Y here is you want fanotify listeners to be able to make permissions |
| 21 | decisions concerning filesystem events. This is used by some fanotify |
| 22 | listeners which need to scan files before allowing the system access to |
| 23 | use those files. This is used by some anti-malware vendors and by some |
| 24 | hierarchical storage managent systems. |
