Log inotify events in a friendly way

Recursively watches existing and newly added files and directories in the current directory.
Groups MOVED_FROM and MOVED_TOevents into a single MOVE event when possible.
Prints only a (currently hard-coded) subset of inotify events, for ease of reading.
Prints an inactivity ruler after one second with no new events, visually grouping events.

After obtaining a working Rust toolchain, inotify-logger can be installed from source through crates.io:

cargo install --locked inotify-logger

It can then be started in the directory to watch for events:

inotify-logger

inotify-logger does not currently feature any configuration. It may later support configuring parts of its behavior through command-line arguments.

The console output is not intended for machine consumption and no compatibility guarantees are provided.
