Protocol between inotify clients and server:
Client sending query:
1) send protocol version number
2) send query type (string, 4 letters long)
3) send query parameters:
- For STAT, N+1 \0-separated strings:
1) N different names that need checking
2) 1 string containing all the status types to match
- No parameter needed for DBUG
Server sending query answer:
1) send protocol version number
2) send query type
3) send struct.pack'ed headers describing the length of the content:
e.g. for STAT, receive 8 integers describing the length of the
8 \0-separated string lists ( one list for each lmar!?ic status type )
