Libudev allows to subscribe to udev events. To prevent unwanted messages
to be delivered, and waking up the subscribing process, a filter can be
installed, to drop messages inside a kernel socket filter. The filters

This is part of the ongoing effort to replace HAL, and switch current
-users over to directly use libudev, or for higher-level services use the
-specialized D-Bus interface of a DeviceKit service.

Libudev is still marked as experimental, and its interface might
-change if needed, but no major changes of the currently exported interface
