This doesn't answer to your question but it should be a good clue

https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/inotify.7.html

«
Inotify was merged into Linux 2.6.13.  The required library
interfaces were added in glibc 2.4.  (IN_DONT_FOLLOW,
IN_MASK_ADD, and IN_ONLYDIR were added in glibc 2.5.)

If by any chance you're already using a high level language like 
python... many provide an interface.
