3 <listitem><para>This SMB allows a client to tell a server to
4 "watch" a particular directory for any changes and only reply to
5 the SMB request when a change has occurred. Such constant scanning of
6 a directory is expensive under UNIX, hence an <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbd</refentrytitle>
7 <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> daemon only performs such a scan
8 on each requested directory once every <parameter moreinfo="none">change notify
