Function	remove	Remove the given watch descriptor from the inotify file descriptor.
Function	initializeModule	Initialize the module, checking if the expected APIs exist and setting the argtypes and restype for `inotify_init`, `inotify_add_watch`, and `inotify_rm_watch`.

def init(): (source)

Create an inotify instance and return the associated file descriptor.

def add(fd, path, mask): (source)

Add a watch for the given path to the inotify file descriptor, and return the watch descriptor.

Parameters	fd	The file descriptor returned by `libc.inotify_init`. (type: `int`)
	path	The path to watch via inotify. (type: `twisted.python.filepath.FilePath`)
	mask	Bitmask specifying the events that inotify should monitor. (type: `int`)

def remove(fd, wd): (source)

Remove the given watch descriptor from the inotify file descriptor.

def initializeModule(libc): (source)
