      Hmm, I'm not sure that inodes are "opened". Did you mean "file is
    opened". How about,:
    
      "This hook is called when a file is opened, a directory element in a
    pathname is accessed, or a directory is accessed for creation/deletion of
    a child file or directory."
    
      Other comments look good.
    
      Thanks,
