+ <refsect1><title>DESCRIPTION</title>
+ <para>udevd listens to kernel uevents and passes the incoming events to
+ udev. It ensures the correct event order and takes care, that events for child
+ devices are delayed until the parent event has finished the device handling.
+ The behavior of the running daemon can be changed with
+ <command>udevadm control</command>.</para>

+ <para>Run all events completely serialized. This may be useful if udev triggers
