+Operation:
+ - Based on events the kernel sends out on device creation/removal, udev
+ creates/removes device nodes and symlinks in the /dev directory.
+
+ - All kernel events are matched against a set of specified rules, which
+ possibly hook into the event processing and load required kernel
+ modules to set up devices. For all devices, the kernel exports a major/minor
+ number; if needed, udev creates a device node with the default kernel
+ device name. If specified, udev applies permissions/ownership to the device
+ node, creates additional symlinks pointing to the node, and executes
+ programs to handle the device.
+
+ - The events udev handles, and the information udev merges into its device
+ database, can be accessed with libudev:
