- <function>udev_device_new_from_device_id</function>, and
- <function>udev_device_new_from_environment</function>
- allocate a new udev device object and returns a pointer to it. This
- object is opaque and must not be accessed by the caller via different
- means than functions provided by libudev. Initially, the reference count
- of the device is 1. You can acquire further references, and drop
- gained references via <function>udev_device_ref()</function> and
- <function>udev_device_unref()</function>. Once the reference count hits 0,
- the device object is destroyed and freed.</para>

- <function>udev_device_new_from_devnum</function>,
- <function>udev_device_new_from_subsystem_sysname</function>, and
- <function>udev_device_new_from_device_id</function>
- create the device object based on information found in
- <filename>/sys</filename>, annotated with properties from the udev-internal
- device database. A syspath is any subdirectory of <filename>/sys</filename>,
- with the restriction that a subdirectory of <filename>/sys/devices</filename>
- (or a symlink to one) represents a real device and as such must contain
- a <filename>uevent</filename> file. <function>udev_device_new_from_devnum</function>
- takes a device type, which can be <constant>b</constant> for block devices or
- <constant>c</constant> for character devices, as well as a devnum (see
- <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>makedev</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>).
- <function>udev_device_new_from_subsystem_sysname</function> looks up devices based
- on the provided subsystem and sysname
- (see <citerefentry><refentrytitle>udev_device_get_subsystem</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
- and
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>udev_device_get_sysname</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>)
- and <function>udev_device_new_from_device_id</function> looks up devices based on the provided
- device ID, which is a special string in one of the following four forms:
- <table>

- <para><function>udev_device_new_from_environment</function>
- creates a device from the current environment (see
- <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>environ</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>).
- Each key-value pair is interpreted in the same way as if it was
- received in an uevent (see
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>udev_monitor_receive_device</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>).
