Yes, I can try.
There was no way to tell not to do anything so I created one. Errors
are signalled via negative return values, so I thought that a positive,
non-zero one could mean to ignore the device. I don't like it but
perhaps you have a better solution.

This one is nothing important, just add some quotes to be more consistent
with the rest and make sure that the return value is positive (since the
error return values are negative). Hmm?

of code.

I missed a few spaces with my recent change.

here is a patch for a typo in the man page, a whitespace cleanup
and a replace for the magic hex ASCII in char operations.

Thanks to Mitch <mitch@0bits.com> for pointing this out.

This chunk broke parsing of blank lines and comments with blanks before
'#'. Please revert it with the patch below.

o use defines in debug strings
o replace my 'xxx' debug :)
o shorten line in man page example to not to exceed 80 chars when printed
|
|
o change the parsing to get a key from the rule and sort it
into our list of known keys instead of expecting a special order
o the key to match a sysfs file must be prependend by 'SYSFS_' now
to match with the new parsing.
(The config must be changed, but it's a bit more descriptive too.)
o put names of fields in define's, like the name of the methods
o update all tests and the man page

Here is a new version with relative link target path optimization
an better tests in udev-test.pl:
LABEL, BUS="scsi", vendor="IBM-ESXS", NAME="1/2/a/b/node", SYMLINK="1/2/c/d/symlink"
Dec 7 06:48:34 pim udev[13789]: create_node: symlink 'udev-root/1/2/c/d/symlink' to node '1/2/a/b/node' requested
Dec 7 06:48:34 pim udev[13789]: create_path: created 'udev-root/1/2/c'
Dec 7 06:48:34 pim udev[13789]: create_path: created 'udev-root/1/2/c/d'
Dec 7 06:48:34 pim udev[13789]: create_node: symlink(../../a/b/node, udev-root/1/2/c/d/symlink)

Now we can handle wildcards properly within the permission file.
|
|
Now there are only 3 valid environment test variables. The rest can be
specified with the config file.
|
|
the older udev.config file is now called udev.rules.
This allows us to better control configuration values, and move away from
the environment variables.
