CleanInotify

Clean Inotify wrapper

Documentation is in Inotify.dcl. Example files:

test.icl: simply tells you what is happening with files file1 and file2. Will exit if nothing has happened for 10s.
test_reload.icl: will exit automatically when its own binary changes. This allows you to put it in a loop, while :; do ./test_reload; done and gives you a program that restarts automatically when it has been changed.

More details in these files themselves.
