-.SH NAME
-inotify_init, inotify_init1 \- initialize an inotify instance
-.SH LIBRARY
-Standard C library
-.RI ( libc ", " \-lc )
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.nf
-.B #include <sys/inotify.h>
-.PP
-.B "int inotify_init(void);"
-.BI "int inotify_init1(int " flags );
-.fi
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-For an overview of the inotify API, see
-.BR inotify (7).
-.PP
-.BR inotify_init ()
-initializes a new inotify instance and returns a file descriptor associated
-with a new inotify event queue.
-.PP
-If
-.I flags
-is 0, then
-.BR inotify_init1 ()
-is the same as
-.BR inotify_init ().
-The following values can be bitwise ORed in
-.I flags
-to obtain different behavior:
-.TP
-.B IN_NONBLOCK
-Set the
-.B O_NONBLOCK
-file status flag on the open file description (see
-.BR open (2))
-referred to by the new file descriptor.
-Using this flag saves extra calls to
-.BR fcntl (2)
-to achieve the same result.
-.TP
-.B IN_CLOEXEC
-Set the close-on-exec
-.RB ( FD_CLOEXEC )
-flag on the new file descriptor.
-See the description of the
-.B O_CLOEXEC
-flag in
-.BR open (2)
-for reasons why this may be useful.
-.SH RETURN VALUE
-On success, these system calls return a new file descriptor.
-On error, \-1 is returned, and
-.I errno
-is set to indicate the error.
-.SH ERRORS
-.TP
-.B EINVAL
-.RB ( inotify_init1 ())
-An invalid value was specified in
-.IR flags .
-.TP
-.B EMFILE
-The user limit on the total number of inotify instances has been reached.
-.TP
-.B EMFILE
-The per-process limit on the number of open file descriptors has been reached.
-.TP
-.B ENFILE
-The system-wide limit on the total number of open files has been reached.
-.TP
-.B ENOMEM
-Insufficient kernel memory is available.
-.SH STANDARDS
-Linux.
