-.TH UDEVD 8 "February 2004" "" "Linux Administrator's Manual"
-.SH NAME
-udevd \- udev event serializer daemon
-.br
-udevsend \- sends the event to udevd
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.BI udevsend " hotplug-subsystem"
-.sp
-The environment must provide the following variables:
-.TP
-.B ACTION
-.IR add " or " remove
-signifies the connection or disconnection of a device.
-.TP
-.B DEVPATH
-The sysfs devpath of the device without the mountpoint but a leading slash.
-.TP
-.B SEQNUM
-The sequence number of the event provided by the kernel.
-If unset, the event bypasses the queue and will be executed immediately.
-.SH "DESCRIPTION"
-.B udevd
-allows the serialization of
-.BR hotplug (8)
-events. The events generated by the kernel may arrive in random order
-in userspace, that makes it neccessary to reorder them.
-.br
-.B udevd
-takes care of the kernel supplied sequence number and arranges the events for
-execution in the correct order. Missing sequences delay the execution of the
-following events until a timeout of a maximum of 5 seconds is reached.
-.br
-For each event a
-.BR udev (8)
-instance is executed in the background. All further events for the same device
-are delayed until the execution is finished. This way there will never be more
-than one instance running for a single device at the same time.
-.br
-.B udevd
-receives the events from
-.B udevsend
-which is called by
-.BR hotplug (8).
-If
-.B udevd
-isn't already running,
-.B udevsend
-will start it.
-.SH "SEE ALSO"
-.BR udev (8),
-.BR udevinfo (8),
-.BR hotplug (8)
-.SH AUTHORS
-.B udevd
-was developed primarily by Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org>, with much help
-from others.
