DuckDuckGo and Google search "inotifywait" "adb".

Could execute Termux binary, but I prefer avoiding to do so.

Maybe can adb push Termux inotifywait:

On Termux:

which inotifywait

/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/inotifywait

adb root
adb pull /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/inotifywait

/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/in...pped. 2.4 MB/s (24464 bytes in 0.010s)

adb unroot

restarting adbd as non root

adb push inotifywait .
Output: 
inotifywait: 1 file pushed, 0 skipped. 231.7 MB/s (24464 bytes in 0.000s)

DuckDuckGo and Google search Linux specify .so to executable.

The Server Fault answer 279069:

echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

does not return anything.

The Server Fault answer 699902:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./inotifywait                                                                                     

CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE "./inotifywait": library "libc++_shared.so" not found: needed by /data/local/tmp/libinotifytools.so in namespace (default)

If proceed similarly with libc++_shared.so.

Could cache on disk or RAM URLs to avoid redundant calls as currently due to inotify-tools, but it is quite unclear how to do so.

Output:

shell: does not work as wanted.

If proceed in adb shell it works as wanted.

adb unroot

restarting adbd as non root
