According to Wikipedia it is customary to specify hardware metrics and transfer speeds to the basis 1000 (SI decimal), while software metrics and physical volatile memory (RAM) sizes to the basis 1024 (IEC binary). So far we specified everything in IEC, let's fix that and be more true to what's otherwise customary. Since we don't want to parse "Mi" instead of "M" we document each time what the context used is.

|
|
<para>udev supplies the system software with device events, manages permissions
|
|
of device nodes and may create additional symlinks in the <filename>/dev</filename>
|
|
directory, or renames network interfaces. The kernel usually just assigns unpredictable
|
|
device names based on the order of discovery. Meaningful symlinks or network device
|
|
names provide a way to reliably identify devices based on their properties or
|
|
current configuration.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The udev daemon, <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-udevd.service</refentrytitle>
|
|
<manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>, receives device uevents directly from
|
|
the kernel whenever a device is added or removed from the system, or it changes its
|
|
state. When udev receives a device event, it matches its configured set of rules
|
|
against various device attributes to identify the device. Rules that match may
|
|
provide additional device information to be stored in the udev database or
|
|
to be used to create meaningful symlink names.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>All device information udev processes is stored in the udev database and
|
|
sent out to possible event subscribers. Access to all stored data and the event
|
|
sources is provided by the library libudev.</para>
|
|
</refsect1>
|
|
|
|
<refsect1><title>Rules Files</title>
|
|
<para>The udev rules are read from the files located in the
|
|
system rules directory <filename>/usr/lib/udev/rules.d</filename>,
|
|
the volatile runtime directory <filename>/run/udev/rules.d</filename>
|
|
and the local administration directory <filename>/etc/udev/rules.d</filename>.
|
|
All rules files are collectively sorted and processed in lexical order,
|
|
regardless of the directories in which they live. However, files with
|
|
identical filenames replace each other. Files in <filename>/etc</filename>
|
|
have the highest priority, files in <filename>/run</filename> take precedence
|
|
over files with the same name in <filename>/usr/lib</filename>. This can be
|
|
used to override a system-supplied rules file with a local file if needed;
|
|
a symlink in <filename>/etc</filename> with the same name as a rules file in
|
|
<filename>/usr/lib</filename>, pointing to <filename>/dev/null</filename>,
|
|
disables the rules file entirely. Rule files must have the extension
|
|
<filename>.rules</filename>; other extensions are ignored.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Every line in the rules file contains at least one key-value pair.
|
|
Except for empty lines or lines beginning with <literal>#</literal>, which are ignored.
|
|
There are two kinds of keys: match and assignment.
|
|
If all match keys match against their values, the rule gets applied and the
|
|
assignment keys get the specified values assigned.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>A matching rule may rename a network interface, add symlinks
|
|
pointing to the device node, or run a specified program as part of
|
|
the event handling.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>A rule consists of a comma-separated list of one or more key-value pairs.
|
|
Each key has a distinct operation, depending on the used operator. Valid
|
|
operators are:</para>

<para>The following key names can be used to match against device properties.

|
Some of the keys also match against properties of the parent devices in sysfs,
|
|
not only the device that has generated the event. If multiple keys that match
|
|
a parent device are specified in a single rule, all these keys must match at
|
|
one and the same parent device.</para>
