Can the user program close the fd after registering the notification, or does every registered fd need to remain open?

Looking at inotify again Posted Jul 11, 2005 12:43 UTC (Mon) by amh (guest, #1902) [Link] Can the user program close the fd after registering the notification, or does every registered fd need to remain open?Several questions in this thread can be answered by looking at the patch. For example, at http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/rml/inotify/v2.6/0.23/inotify-0.23-rml-2.6.13-rc2-1.patch. Indeed the user program can close the fd of the file/directory being watched. Closing the fd associated with the watch (which can be associated with many files/directories) will turn the watch off.
