The path is relative to the sysfs device, so this provides an easy way to wait
for an attribute to appear.
|
|
Fix the manpage to describe the real behaviour of $attr: It doesn't search all
parent devices any more, just the one selected by KERNELS etc.

Rules files must end in .rules.
Also drop the redundant and confusing sentence about "file names must be
unique". What is really meant is explained in a better way in the paragraph
above.

A final assignemnt operator will disable any device watching by
inotify, and any possible later rules setting "watch" again will
be ignored.

And make Lennart happy! :)

We can not predict the major/minor of non-existing devices:
$ grep . /sys/class/block/sd*/dev
/sys/class/block/sda1/dev:259:524288
/sys/class/block/sda2/dev:259:262144
/sys/class/block/sda3/dev:259:786432
/sys/class/block/sda4/dev:259:131072
/sys/class/block/sda/dev:259:0
/sys/class/block/sdb/dev:259:655360
/sys/class/block/sdc/dev:259:393216
If this functionality is still needed for some broken hardware, it needs to be
solved with a tool not part of the udev package. Because such option is unreliable
and unsafe to use.

Explain command/argument separation rules, search path, and quoting for RUN and
IMPORT.

There is no way to ignore an event these days. Libudev events can
not be suppressed. It only prevents RUN keys from being executed,
which results in an inconsistent behavior in current setups.
|
|
Its use breaks too many things which expect to be run from independent
later rules, and is an idication that something needs to be fixed
properly instead.

If by-path / by-id links don't quite do what you want, this is a nice
clean way to extend the behaviour. Real example:
SYMLINK=="serial/by-id/usb-Novatel_Wireless_Inc*CDMA*-if00-port0", \\
SYMLINK+="cellcard"
Some users ask how to do things like this.
- create an additional link with a shorter name
- create a link which matches more loosely
(omit certain path segments e.g. serial numbers)
- change permissions on certain USB device nodes
Allow them to realize this without reading the friendly *.c files.

Dates aren't shown in the manpages. So they are not really useful,
and no-one is going to remember to update them.
"<refmiscinfo class="version"></refmiscinfo>" sounds even less useful.
I leave the unused "title" and "productname" tags. They could
theoretically be useful, and aren't hard to maintain. We just need to
fix the "title" for udevadm.

It did not work for the last couple of releases.
If RUN{record_failed}+="..." is given, a non-zero execution will mark
the event as failed. Recorded failed events can be re-triggered with:
udevadm trigger --type=failed
The failed tracking _might_ be useful for things which might not be
ready to be executed at early bootup, but a bit later when the needed
dependencies are available. In many cases though, it indicates that
something is used in a way it should not.

This allows you to re-process the rules if the content of the device
has been changed, most useful for block subsystem to cause vol_id to
be run again.
