<refsect1><title>Description</title>
<para>udevd listens to kernel uevents. For every event, udevd executes matching
instructions specified in udev rules. See <citerefentry>
<refentrytitle>udev</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum>
</citerefentry>.</para>
<para>On startup the content of the directory <filename>/lib/udev/devices</filename>
is copied to <filename>/dev</filename>. If kernel modules specify static device
nodes, these nodes are created even without a corresponding kernel device, to
allow on-demand loading of kernel modules. Matching permissions specified in udev
rules are applied to these static device nodes.</para>
<para>The behavior of the running daemon can be changed with
<command>udevadm control</command>.</para>
