For example, it may have requested notifications when users open files, but start receiving notifications when users create symlinks. This API is provided in support of "native file blocking" in which there is no server connected to the filer for a policy. Note that it is possible to get the list of operations and protocols currently set for a policy with the fpolicy-list-info API.
