.SH NAME

|
|
|
udevd \- udev event serializer daemon
|
|
|
|
.br
|
|
|
|
udevsend \- sends the event to udevd
|
|
|
|
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
|
|
.B udevd
|
|
|
|
allows the serialization of
|
|
|
|
.BR hotplug (8)
|
|
|
|
events. The events generated by the kernel may arrive in random order
|
|
|
|
in userspace, that makes it neccessary to reorder it.
|
|
|
|
.br
|
|
|
|
.B udevd
|
|
|
|
takes care of the kernel supplied sequence number and arranges the events for
|
|
|
|
execution in the correct order. Missing sequences are delaying the
|
|
|
|
execution of the following events until a timeout of a maximum of 5 seconds
|
|
|
|
is reached.
|
|
|
|
.br
|
|
|
|
For each event a
|
|
|
|
.BR udev (8)
|
|
|
|
instance is executed in the background. All further events for the same device
|
|
|
|
are delayed until the execution is finished. This way it will never run more
|
2004-02-18 10:02:39 +07:00
|
|
|
than one instance for a single device at the same time.

.B udevd

|

receives the events from
|
|
|
|
.B udevsend
|
|
|
|
which is called by
|
2004-02-18 10:02:39 +07:00
|
|
|
.BR hotplug (8).
|
|
|
|
If
|
|
|
|
.B udevd
|
|
|
|
isn't already running,
|
|
|
|
.B udevsend
|
|
|
|
will start it.
