Match the name of the event device\.
.RE
.PP
+\fBNAME\fR
+.RS 4
+Match the name of the node or network interface\. It can be used once the NAME key has been set in one of the preceding rules\.
+.RE
+.PP
\fBSUBSYSTEM\fR
.RS 4
Match the subsystem of the event device\.
\fBRUN\fR
.RS 4
Add a program to the list of programs to be executed for a specific device\. This can only be used for very short running tasks\. Running an event process for a long period of time may block all further events for this or a dependent device\. Long running tasks need to be immediately detached from the event process itself\.
+.sp
+If the specifiefd string starts with
+\fBsocket:\fR\fB\fIpath\fR\fR, all current event values will be passed to the specified socket, as a message in the same format the kernel sends an uevent\. If the first character of the specified path is an @ character, an abstract namespace socket is used, instead of an existing socket file\.

based on the executable bit of the file permissions\.
.RE
.PP
-\fBWAIT_FOR_SYSFS\fR
+\fBWAIT_FOR\fR
.RS 4
-Wait for the specified sysfs file of the device to be created\. Can be used to fight against kernel sysfs timing issues\.
+Wait for a file to become available\.
.RE
.PP
\fBOPTIONS\fR
.PP
\fBignore_remove\fR
.RS 4
-Ignore any later remove event for this device\. This may be useful as a workaround for broken device drivers\.
+Do not remove the device node when the device goes away\. This may be useful as a workaround for broken device drivers\.
.RE
.PP
\fBlink_priority=\fR\fB\fIvalue\fR\fR
Create the device nodes for all available partitions of a block device\. This may be useful for removable media devices where media changes are not detected\.
.RE
.PP
+\fBevent_timeout=\fR
+.RS 4
+Number of seconds an event will wait for operations to finish, before it will terminate itself\.
+.RE
+.PP
\fBstring_escape=\fR\fB\fInone|replace\fR\fR
.RS 4
Usually control and other possibly unsafe characters are replaced in strings used for device naming\. The mode of replacement can be specified with this option\.
\fBSYMLINK\fR,
\fBPROGRAM\fR,
\fBOWNER\fR,
-\fBGROUP\fR
+\fBGROUP\fR,
+\fBMODE\fR

fields support simple printf\-like string substitutions\. The

\fB$name\fR
.RS 4
-The name of the device node\. The value is only set if an earlier rule assigned a value, or during a remove events\.
+The current name of the device node\. If not changed by a rule, it is the name of the kernel device\.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fB$links\fR
+.RS 4
+The current list of symlinks, separated by a space character\. The value is only set if an earlier rule assigned a value, or during a remove events\.
