Add ptest support for inotify-tools by introducing a run-ptest script. The ptest verifies the correct functioning of inotify event handling and related utilities. Test coverage includes: - File creation, modification, and deletion event monitoring - Event handling and command-line option parsing - Basic consistency and behavior of inotify event queues The ptest completes in under 20 seconds output: root@qemux86-64:~# ptest-runner inotify-tools START: ptest-runner 2025-10-31T07:27 BEGIN: /usr/lib/inotify-tools/ptest If you want to do a malloc trace, set MALLOC_TRACE to a path for logging. event_to_str: test begin event_to_str: test end event_to_str_sep: test begin event_to_str_sep: test end str_to_event: test begin str_to_event: test end str_to_event_sep: test begin str_to_event_sep: test end basic_watch_info: test begin basic_watch_info: test end watch_limit: test begin watch_limit: Warning, this test may take a while watch_limit: test end tst_inotifytools_snprintf: test begin tst_inotifytools_snprintf: test end Out of 362746 tests, 362746 succeeded and 0 failed.
