inotify - inotifywatch
fanotify - ?

I expect the tool to be able to reliably, recursively and scalably watch a directory and report events (added files, removed files, changed files) by outputting lines to stdout.

There are some examples around "hello world" level on Github:

  • fsnoop prints a lot of events about everything. You can filter them;
  • fanotify_watch prints events for writing files;
  • fanotify-cmd - monitor just one file
  • fanotify - you can specify events, but I haven't managed to get any output from it

Update: one more notable tool: fatrace.
