+ * When a filesystem event matching the specified mask is occured on specified file (or directory)
+ * a userspace agent is spawned and given the following parameters:
+ * $1. actual event(s)
+ * $2. file (or directory) name
+ * $3. name of subfile (if any), in case of watching a directory
+ *
+ * E.g. inotifyd ./dev-watcher /dev:n
+ *
+ * ./dev-watcher can be, say:

+ * echo "We have new device in here! Hello, $3!"
