+C<guestfs_inotify_files>.
+If this is passed as C<0>, then the kernel (or previously set)
+default is used. For Linux 2.6.29 the default was 16384 events.
+Beyond this limit, the kernel throws away events, but records
+the fact that it threw them away by setting a flag
+C<IN_Q_OVERFLOW> in the returned structure list (see
+C<guestfs_inotify_read>).

+watches to the internal watch list. See:

+read the events out often enough then you risk the internal
+queue overflowing.

+C<guestfs_inotify_close>. This also removes any
+watches automatically.
