<para>Typically, it is essential that applications which intend to use such a match, make

shall be matched. See also Initialized Devices section below for more details.</para>

<warning>
|

<para><option>--initialized-nomatch</option> can potentially save a significant

amount of time compared to re-triggering all devices in the system and e.g. can be used to
|
||
optimize boot time. However, this is not safe to be used in a boot sequence in general.
|
||
Especially, when udev rules for a device depend on its parent devices (e.g.
|
||
<literal>ATTRS</literal> or <literal>IMPORT{parent}</literal> keys, see
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>udev</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|

for more details), the final state of the device becomes easily unstable with this option.
