18	default n
19	---help---
20	   Say Y here is you want fanotify listeners to be able to make permissions
21	   decisions concerning filesystem events.  This is used by some fanotify
22	   listeners which need to scan files before allowing the system access to
23	   use those files.  This is used by some anti-malware vendors and by some
24	   hierarchical storage managent systems.
