2005-04-26[PATCH] remove limit of the number of args passed to PROGRAMgreg@kroah.com
If we go over our internal limit of 7, then we call out to /bin/sh otherwise we handle it ourself without relying on a shell.
2005-04-26[PATCH] udev - man page updatekay.sievers@vrfy.org
Hey it's not longer the "goal" to provide a dynamic dev directory, we have just arrived. So I change it to more self-confident words :) I've also added the completly missing environment variables to the man pages. To stop the misuse of the PROGRAM= call paramenters, we better mention its limitations.
2005-04-26[PATCH] manpage updatekay.sievers@vrfy.org
Nice, here is the corresponding man update which also removes the mention of the limitation of getgrname() and friends with klibc.
2005-04-26[PATCH] udev - add %s{filename} to man pagekay.sievers@vrfy.org
Add the new %s{filename} to the udev man page. And add the automatic start of udevd to the udevd man page.
2005-04-26[PATCH] udev - switch SYSFS_file to SYSFS{file}kay.sievers@vrfy.org
Here we switch the configs and man pages to the new attribute syntax. Also the 'partition trick' is mentioned in udev.8 I think it's more clear visible now, that inside the brackets are user supplied values used and not some magic keys handled: 'SYSFS_dev' is now 'SYSFS{dev}' The old syntax is still supported.
2005-04-26[PATCH] add udev_log to the documentation.greg@kroah.com
2005-04-26[PATCH] remove command line documentation from udev man pagegreg@kroah.com
2005-04-26[PATCH] set default owner/group in db - updatekay.sievers@vrfy.org
I've edited the man page today, so this is alreay included :) Also a few more trivials: o added the defaults to udev.conf.in o removed class_dev from get_default_mode(), to match with Hanna's o changed size of mode_str to MODE_SIZE o changed a few char compares from from 0x00 to '\0'
2005-04-26[PATCH] udev - reverse user query optionskay.sievers@vrfy.org
Here we get the ability to query with the name of the node instead of the device path. It uses a linear search over the whole database. kay@pim:~/src/udev.kay$ ./udev -q path -n video/webcam0 /class/video4linux/video0 New version, with better function return codes for error handling.
2005-04-26[PATCH] remove the %D modifier as it is not longer needed.greg@kroah.com
2005-04-26[PATCH] udev - mention format string escape char in man pagekay.sievers@vrfy.org
If we want to pass any '%' down to a program, you need to ecape it by '%%', otherwise we try to expand it with our own format char list.

Ok, I'll agree with you. Care to make up a patch for this > kind of feature? 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.
