inotifywait:tldr:8c091

The command "inotifywait ${filename}" sets up a file system event monitor using the inotifywait tool, which is a part of the inotify-tools package in Linux distributions.

The ${filename} is a placeholder for the actual name of the file or directory you want to monitor for changes. You should replace it with the specific file or directory name you want to track.

Once executed, the command will continuously monitor the specified file or directory for events, such as file modifications, creations, deletions, or attribute changes. When an event occurs, inotifywait will display information about that event on the terminal.

This command is commonly used for automating tasks or scripts that need to respond to changes in specific files or directories. For example, you can combine it with other commands or scripts to perform certain actions when a file is modified.
