# FindInotify

Try to find inotify on this system. This finds:

  - libinotify on Unix like systems, or

  - the kernel’s inotify.

This will define the following variables:

`Inotify_FOUND`

  True if inotify is available

`Inotify_LIBRARIES`

  This has to be passed to target_link_libraries()

`Inotify_INCLUDE_DIRS`

  This has to be passed to target_include_directories()

On some platforms like Linux and SunOS, the libraries and include directories are empty, even though `Inotify_FOUND` may be set to TRUE. This is because no special includes or libraries are needed. On other systems these may be needed to use inotify.

Since 5.32.0.
