<title>Description</title>
|
|
<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>
|

|
|
<title>Rules Files</title>
|
|
<para>The udev rules are read from the files located in the system rules directories
|
|
<filename>/usr/lib/udev/rules.d</filename> and <filename>/usr/local/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 under
|
|
<filename>/usr/</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-operator-value expressions.
|
|
Each expression has a distinct effect, depending on the key and operator used.</para>

<title>Values</title>
|
|
<para>Values are written as double quoted strings, such as ("string").
|
|
To include a quotation mark (") in the value, precede it by a backslash (\").
|
|
Any other occurrences of a character followed by a backslash are not further unescaped.
|
|
That is, "\t\n" is treated as four characters:
|
|
backslash, lowercase t, backslash, lowercase n.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The string can be prefixed with a lowercase e (e"string\n") to mark the string as
|
|
<ulink url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_sequences_in_C#Table_of_escape_sequences">C-style escaped</ulink>.
|
|
For example, e"string\n" is parsed as 7 characters: 6 lowercase letters and a newline.
|
|
This can be useful for writing special characters when a kernel driver requires them.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Please note that <constant>NUL</constant> is not allowed in either string variant.</para>

<title>Keys</title>
|
|
<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>
