You probably meant

read(inotfd, event, bufsiz);

Yes, thanks for the correction.
I had trouble getting the file name from the event. I think it's
because the inotify module has name defined as char[0]. So I did
this, which prints the name by using the extra data beyond the
inotify_event struct itself:
void* buf = GC.malloc(bufsiz);
/* wait for an event to occur */
size_t readlen = read(inotfd, buf, bufsiz);
inotify_event* event = cast(inotify_event*) (buf);
/* process event struct here */
writeln("Received inotify event:");
writeln("Bytes read: ", readlen);
writeln("Length: ", event.len);
writeln("Name:", cast(char[])(buf[event.len..readlen]));
