Scrivere un programma con un solo parametro.
Come prima cosa il programma deve creare una directory con il path specificato nel parametro. Se la directory esiste gia' o si
verifica un errore nella creazione, il programma deve terminare. Chiameremo questa directory “directory-base”
Il programma usando inotify rimane in attesa e stampa una riga di log per ogni file o directory creato o cancellato nella
directory-base. (solo nella directory-base, non nelle sottodirectory).
Quando viene cancellata la directory-base il programma termina.
