NAME¶
udevd - event managing daemon
SYNOPSIS¶
udevd [--daemon] [--debug-trace] [--debug] [--version] [--resolve-names=early|late|never] [--help]
DESCRIPTION¶
udevd listens to kernel uevents and passes the incoming events to udev. It ensures the correct event order and takes care, that events for child devices are delayed until the parent event has finished the device handling. The behavior of the running daemon can be changed with udevadm control.
OPTIONS¶
--daemon
Detach and run in the background.
--debug-trace
Run all events completely serialized. This may be useful
if udev triggers actions or loads kernel modules which cause problems and a
slow but continuous operation is needed, where no events are processed in
parallel.
--debug
Print debug messages to stderr.
--resolve-names
Specify when udevd should resolve names of users and
groups. When set to early (the default) names will be resolved when the
rules are parsed. When set to late names will be resolved for every
event. When set to never names will never be resolved and all devices
will be owned by root.
--version
Print version number.
--help
Print help text.
ENVIRONMENT¶
UDEV_LOG
Overrides the syslog priority specified in the config
file.
