Hint for testing if inotify is fully supported?

[a12one]

In the README we are warned about "Incomplete inotify support on WSL and Docker for Mac can cause entr to respond inconsistently", may I ask if there is a way to check/test if the current environment has complete inotify support? e.g. an alpine docker container running on an Ubuntu host machine?

If the host machine is Linux, inotify support works for Docker containers. So no worries, your setup doesn't require a workaround.

If the host is Mac or Windows it doesn't.

To test it:

1. In the docker container run

echo file.txt | entr -p echo "file changed"

2. On the host modify the file

echo "123" >> file.txt
