# tokio-inotify [![crates.io](https://img.shields.io/crates/v/tokio-inotify.svg)](https://crates.io/crates/tokio-inotify) [Documentation](https://docs.rs/tokio-inotify/) The `tokio_inotify` crate enables the use of inotify file descriptors in the `tokio` framework. It builds on the [`inotify`](https://github.com/hannobraun/inotify-rs) crate by wrapping the `INotify` type into a new type called `AsyncINotify`, and implementing [`futures::stream::Stream`](http://alexcrichton.com/futures-rs/futures/stream/trait.Stream.html). This means that you can consume `inotify::Event`s from the `AsyncINotify` object and act on them.
