I have cpp application running on an embedded-linux device. Now, I want the application to report if there is a change in a file on the device. I came across std::filesystem library and inotify(recommended) but couldn't fully understand how to integrate this into my application. Is there any wrapper or library for inotify? What dependencies should be met for inotify to work (lib)? Any example on getting started will be helpful. Can anyone please help me understand it?
P.S: Linux distribution is built using Yocto Project. Should I install any libraries(inotify-tools) using Yocto?
