It ensures the correct event order and takes care, that events for child - devices are delayed until the parent event has finished the device handling. - The behavior of the running daemon can be changed with - udevadm control. - + Description + udevd listens to kernel uevents and executes the instructions specified + in rules. On startup the content of the directory + /lib/udev/devices is copied to /dev. + If kernel modules specify static device nodes, these nodes are created + even wihtout a corresponding kernel device, to allow on-demand loading of kernel + modules. Matching permissions specified in udev rules are applied to these + static device nodes. The behavior of the running daemon can be changed with + udevadm control. + - OPTIONS - - - - - Detach and run in the background. - - - - - - Run all events completely serialized. This may be useful if udev triggers - actions or loads kernel modules which cause problems and a slow but continuous - operation is needed, where no events are processed in parallel. - - - - - - - Print debug messages to stderr. - - - - - - Print version number. - - - - - - Print help text. - - - - + Options + + + + + Detach and run in the background. + + + + + + Print debug messages to stderr. + + + + + + Limit the number of parallel executed events. + + + + + + + Number of seconds to delay the execution of RUN instructions. + This might be useful when debugging system crashes during coldplug + cause by loading non-working kernel modules. + + + + + + Specify when udevd should resolve names of users and groups. + When set to (the default) names will be + resolved when the rules are parsed.
