All later rules with NAME-key are ignored. This way system +supplied symlinks or permissions gets applied to user-defined naming rules. +Note: +Please check your rules setup, if you may need to add OPTIONS="last_rule" +to some rules, to keep the old behavior. + +The rules are read on "remove"-events too. That makes is possible to match +with keys that are available on remove (KERNEL, SUBSYSTEM, ID, ENV, ...) to +instruct udev to ignore a event (OPTIONS="ignore_device"). +The new ACTION-key may be used to match a rule only at a "remove"-event. + +The new RUN-key supports rule-based execution of programs after device-node +handling. This can replace the dev.d/-rules to make them more efficient. + +The %s{}-sysfs format char replacement values are searched at any of the +devices in the device chain now, not only at the class-device. + We support log priority levels now. The value udev_log in udev.conf is used to determine what is printed to syslog. This makes it possible to run a version with compiled-in debug messages in a production environment
