The alfred server instance accepts event notification registration
via the unix socket. These notification sockets only inform
registered parties of the availability of an alfred datatype change.
The actual data itself needs to be retrieved via the existing data
retrieval mechanisms.
Unlike the update-command this event monitor allows:
- multiple parallel listeners
- programmatic access to changes without requiring multiple processes
The alfred client allows to monitor events via the newly added '-E'
(event monitor) command line option. Serving as debugging tool and
example code at the same time.

v2:
- fix typ0s
- replace list_del_init() with list_del()
- remove unnecessary INIT_LIST_HEAD()
- change --event-monitor to not require an argument
