inotifywait:tldr:b3271

The command "inotifywait --quiet ${filename}" uses the inotifywait tool to monitor a specific file or directory for any changes, events, or modifications.

Here is the breakdown of each component:

• "inotifywait" is a command-line utility that listens to the Linux kernel's inotify interface and reports file system changes.
• "--quiet" is an option to run the command silently, without any unnecessary output or information. It makes the command not print any startup messages or summary at the end.
• "${filename}" represents a placeholder for the actual file name or path that you want to monitor. You need to replace it with the specific file or directory you want to track.

Overall, the command "inotifywait --quiet ${filename}" enables you to monitor a file or directory silently, without any additional information displayed, and capture any changes or events occurring within that file or directory in real-time.
