- <refsect1><title>DESCRIPTION</title>
- <para>udev provides a dynamic device directory containing only the files for
- actually present devices. It creates or removes device node files in the
- <filename>/dev</filename> directory, or it renames network interfaces.</para>
-
- <para>Usually udev runs as <citerefentry><refentrytitle>udevd</refentrytitle>
- <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> and receives uevents directly from the
- kernel if a device is added or removed form the system.</para>
-
- <para>If udev receives a device event, it matches its configured rules
- against the available device attributes provided in sysfs to identify the device.
- Rules that match, may provide additional device information or specify a device
- node name and multiple symlink names and instruct udev to run additional programs
- as part of the device event handling.</para>
- </refsect1>
-
- <refsect1><title>CONFIGURATION</title>
- <para>All udev configuration files are placed in <filename>/etc/udev/*</filename>.
- Every file consists of a set of lines of text. All empty lines or lines beginning
- with '#' will be ignored.</para>
-
- <refsect2><title>Configuration file</title>
- <para>udev expects its main configuration file at <filename>/etc/udev/udev.conf</filename>.
- It consists of a set of variables allowing the user to override default udev values.
- The following variables can be set:</para>
- <variablelist>
- <varlistentry>
- <term><option>udev_root</option></term>
- <listitem>
- <para>Specifies where to place the device nodes in the filesystem.
- The default value is <filename>/dev</filename>.</para>
- </listitem>
- </varlistentry>
-
- <varlistentry>
- <term><option>udev_rules</option></term>
- <listitem>
- <para>The name of the udev rules file or directory to look for files
- with the suffix <filename>.rules</filename>. Multiple rule files are
- read in lexical order. The default value is
- <filename>/etc/udev/rules.d</filename>.</para>

- </varlistentry>
-
- <varlistentry>
- <term><option>udev_log</option></term>

- </variablelist>
- </refsect2>
-
- <refsect2><title>Rules files</title>
- <para>The udev rules are read from the files located in the
- <filename>/etc/udev/rules.d</filename> directory or at the location specified
- value in the configuraton file. Every line in the rules file contains at least
- one key value pair. There are two kind of keys, match and assignement keys.
- If all match keys are matching against its value, the rule gets applied and the
- assign keys get the specified value assigned. A matching rule may specify the
- name of the device node, add a symlink pointing to the node, or run a specified
- program as part of the event handling. If no matching rule is found, the default
- device node name is used.</para>
-
- <para>A rule may consists of a list of one or more key value pairs separated by
- a comma. Each key has a distinct operation, depending on the used operator. Valid
- operators are:</para>
