Description
- udevd listens to kernel uevents and executes the instructions specified
- in rules. On startup the content of the directory
- /lib/udev/devices is copied to /dev.
- If kernel modules specify static device nodes, these nodes are created
- even wihtout a corresponding kernel device, to allow on-demand loading of kernel
- modules. Matching permissions specified in udev rules are applied to these
- static device nodes. The behavior of the running daemon can be changed with
