The troff man pages will still be checked into the tree but the
source is DocBook XML format living in the docs/ directory now.
Start with the easy ones, the main udev page is still left to
rewrite.

The option "-s" will get information about the major/minor,
the physical device, the bus value and the driver from sysfs for
all class and block devices:
kay@pim udev.kay]$ ./udevinfo -s
DEVPATH '/sys/block/sda'
SUBSYSTEM 'block'
NAME 'sda'
MAJORMINOR '8:0'
PHYSDEVPATH '/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb1/1-3/1-3:1.0/host2/target2:0:0/2:0:0:0'
PHYSDEVPATHBUS 'scsi'
DRIVER 'sd'
DEVPATH '/sys/class/input/mice'
SUBSYSTEM 'input'
NAME 'mice'
MAJORMINOR '13:63'
DEVPATH '/sys/class/input/mouse0'
SUBSYSTEM 'input'
NAME 'mouse0'
MAJORMINOR '13:32'

This makes the udev operation completely lockless by storing a
file for every node in /dev/.udevdb/* This solved the problem
with deadlocking concurrent udev processes waiting for each other
to release the file lock under heavy load.

Based on a an original patch from Olaf Hering <olh@suse.de>
|
|
Mention the recently added netdev handling and the dev.d/ directories
in the man pages.

Thanks to Christian Gierke, he sent me a beauty patch for our man pages.
Some typos are fixed and a few word are clarified.

Here I try to cleanup our various multifield iteration over the strings.
Inspired by our nice list.h we now have a macro to iterate over the string
and process the parts of it:
It makes the code more readable and we don't change the string while we
process it like the former strsep() does.
Example:
foreach_strpart(dev->symlink, " ", pos, len) {
if (strncmp(&dev->symlink[pos], find_name, len) != 0)
continue;
...
}
For the callout part selector %c{2} we separate now not only by space but
also newline and return characters, cause some programs may give multiline
values back. A possible RESULT match must contain wildcards for these
characters.
Also a bug in the recent udevinfo symlink query feature is fixed.

Thanks to Olaf Hering <olh@suse.de> for this patch. It's possible now to
feed the -n option of udevinfo with a symlink.
I've also added a 'all' attribute, but no more text, it's all in the
included man page :)

man-dashes.diff: escape dashes in man pages, helps with UTF-8 locales
(by Philipp Matthias Hahn).

Here is the missing man page for udevd/udevsend.
|
|
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.

Here are the missing udevinfo options for the new man page.
