3. Information about the perl-Linux-Inotify2 package on openSuSE Tumbleweed

Information for package perl-Linux-Inotify2:
--------------------------------------------
Repository : openSUSE-Tumbleweed-Oss
Name : perl-Linux-Inotify2
Version : 2.3-1.13
Arch : x86_64
Vendor : openSUSE
Installed Size : 46.8 KiB
Installed : No
Status : not installed
Source package : perl-Linux-Inotify2-2.3-1.13.src
Upstream URL : https://metacpan.org/release/Linux-Inotify2
Summary : Scalable directory/file change notification
Description :
This module implements an interface to the Linux 2.6.13 and later Inotify
file/directory change notification system.
It has a number of advantages over the Linux::Inotify module:
- it is portable (Linux::Inotify only works on x86)
- the equivalent of fullname works correctly
- it is better documented
- it has callback-style interface, which is better suited for
integration.
As for the inotify API itself - it is a very tricky, and somewhat
unreliable API. For a good overview of the challenges you might run into,
