9 The environment must provide the following variables:
13 signifies the connection or disconnection of a device.
16 The sysfs devpath of the device without the mountpoint but a leading slash.
19 The sequence number of the event provided by the kernel.
20 If unset, the event bypasses the queue and will be executed immediately.
23 allows the serialization of
25 events. The events generated by the kernel may arrive in random order
26 in userspace, that makes it neccessary to reorder it.
29 takes care of the kernel supplied sequence number and arranges the events for
30 execution in the correct order. Missing sequences are delaying the
31 execution of the following events until a timeout of a maximum of 5 seconds
36 instance is executed in the background. All further events for the same device
37 are delayed until the execution is finished. This way it will never run more
38 than one instance for a single device at the same time.
41 receives the events from
47 isn't already running,
