- <para>udevd listens to kernel uevents. For every event, udevd executes matching
- instructions specified in udev rules. See <citerefentry>
- <refentrytitle>udev</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum>
- </citerefentry>.</para>
- <para>On startup the content of the directory <filename>/usr/lib/udev/devices</filename>
- is copied to <filename>/dev</filename>. If kernel modules specify static device
- nodes, these nodes are created even without 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.</para>
- <para>The behavior of the running daemon can be changed with
- <command>udevadm control</command>.</para>
