Below is an absolutely *simplified* sample application.
Hope this will be helpful.

The configuration setup for the app:
# echo /tmp T 50000 10000 > /sys/fs/events/config;
# echo /opt/usr G T 710000 500000 > /sys/fs/events/config;
(tmpfs and ext4 as the support for those is part of the patchset)
And the output after playing around with the 'dd':
Notification received for /tmp

Owner: 3128
Threshold data: 50000
Notification received for /opt/usr
