+  <refsect1><title>Description</title>
+    <para>udev supplies the system software with device events, manages permissions
+    of device nodes and may create additional symlinks in the <filename>/dev</filename>
+    directory, or renames network interfaces. The kernel usually just assigns unpredictable
+    device names based on the order of discovery. Meaningful symlinks or network device
+    names provide a way to reliably identify devices based on their properties or
+    current configuration.</para>
+
+    <para>The udev daemon, <citerefentry><refentrytitle>udevd</refentrytitle>
+    <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>, receives device uevents directly from
+    the kernel whenever a device is added or removed from the system, or it changes its
+    state. When udev receives a device event, it matches its configured set of rules
+    against various device attributes to identify the device. Rules that match may
+    provide additional device information to be stored in the udev database or
+    to be used to create meaningful symlink names.</para>
+
+    <para>All device information udev processes is stored in the udev database and
+    sent out to possible event subscribers. Access to all stored data and the event
+    sources is provided by the library libudev.</para>
+  </refsect1>
+
+  <refsect1><title>Configuration</title>
+    <para>udev configuration files are placed in <filename>/etc/udev</filename>
+    and <filename>/usr/lib/udev</filename>. All empty lines or lines beginning with
+    '#' are 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_log</option></term>
+          <listitem>
+            <para>The logging priority. Valid values are the numerical syslog priorities
+            or their textual representations: <option>err</option>, <option>info</option>
+            and <option>debug</option>.</para>
+          </listitem>
+        </varlistentry>
+      </variablelist>
+    </refsect2>
+
+    <refsect2><title>Rules files</title>
+      <para>The udev rules are read from the files located in the
+      system rules directory <filename>/usr/lib/udev/rules.d</filename>,
+      the volatile runtime directory <filename>/run/udev/rules.d</filename>
+      and the local administration directory <filename>/etc/udev/rules.d</filename>.
+      All rules files are collectively sorted and processed in lexical order,
+      regardless of the directories in which they live. However, files with
+      identical file names replace each other. Files in <filename>/etc</filename>
+      have the highest priority, files in <filename>/run</filename> take precedence
+      over files with the same name in <filename>/lib</filename>. This can be
+      used to override a system-supplied rules file with a local file if needed;
+      a symlink in <filename>/etc</filename> with the same name as a rules file in
+      <filename>/lib</filename>, pointing to <filename>/dev/null</filename>,
+      disables the rules file entirely.</para>
+
+      <para>Rule files must have the extension <filename>.rules</filename>; other
+      extensions are ignored.</para>
+
+      <para>Every line in the rules file contains at least one key-value pair.
+      There are two kind of keys: match and assignment.
+      If all match keys are matching against its value, the rule gets applied and the
+      assignment keys get the specified value assigned.</para>
+
+      <para>A matching rule may rename a network interface, add symlinks
+      pointing to the device node, or run a specified program as part of
+      the event handling.</para>
+
+      <para>A rule consists of a comma-separated list of one or more key-value pairs.
+      Each key has a distinct operation, depending on the used operator. Valid
+      operators are:</para>
