The way the kernel namespaces have been implemented breaks assumptions
udev made regarding uevent sequence numbers. Creating devices in a
namespace "steals" uevents and its sequence numbers from the host. It
confuses the "udevadmin settle" logic, which might block until util a
timeout is reached, even when no uevent is pending.
Remove any assumptions about sequence numbers and deprecate libudev's
API exposing these numbers; none of that can reliably be used anymore
when namespaces are involved.
Actually 'STDOUT' is something that doesn't appear anywhere: in the
stdlib we have 'stdin', and there's only the constant STDOUT_FILENO,
so there's no reason to use capitals. When refering to code,
STDOUT/STDOUT/STDERR are replaced with stdin/stdout/stderr, and in
other places they are replaced with normal phrases like standard
output, etc.
* standardize capitalization of STDIN, STDOUT, and STDERR
* reword some sentences for clarity
* reflow some very long lines to be shorter than ~80 characters
* add some missing <literal>, <constant>, <varname>, <option>, and <filename> tags
This is a recurring submission and includes corrections to various
issue spotted. I guess I can just skip over reporting ubiquitous comma
placement fixes…
> Kay:
udev is early boot without /var. /var is entirely taboo for udev.
This partially reverts commit ee623f0d0c
(moving hwdb.bin is reverted, but the uninstall hook and cosmetic
changes remain).
Since the binary name is now hidden away in /usr/lib/ the primary user
handle for the udev service is the unit name, hence change the man page
to be available under the unit name, and make the binary name an alias
for it.
