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. |
