Here is a small fix for udev-test.pl, to print the METHOD also
for the "whitespace config" tests.
TEST: Handle comment lines in config file (and replace kernel name)
method '' for 'class/tty/ttyUSB0' expecting node 'visor'
add: ok remove: ok
o change the parsing to get a key from the rule and sort it
into our list of known keys instead of expecting a special order
o the key to match a sysfs file must be prependend by 'SYSFS_' now
to match with the new parsing.
(The config must be changed, but it's a bit more descriptive too.)
o put names of fields in define's, like the name of the methods
o update all tests and the man page
Try this patch if you like, to get special parts of the callout output.
This beast works now:
CALLOUT, BUS="scsi", PROGRAM="/bin/echo -n node link1 link2", ID="node *", NAME="%1c", SYMLINK="%2c %3c"
The callout returned string is separated by spaces and is
addressed by the "len" value of the 'c' format char.
Since we support symlinks, this my be useful for other uses of callout too.
introduce 'len number' for format chars
the first use is 'c'-the callout return to select a part of the output string like:
CALLOUT, BUS="scsi", PROGRAM="/bin/echo -n node link1 link2", ID="node *", NAME="%1c", SYMLINK="%2c %3c"
(note: first part is requested by len=1, len=0 will return the whole string)
add a test to udev-test.pl
Here is a patch to allow the creation of multiple symlinks.
The names must be separated by a space character.
REPLACE, KERNEL="ttyUSB0", NAME="visor", SYMLINK="first-%n second-%n third-%n"
results in:

Here is a new version with relative link target path optimization
an better tests in udev-test.pl:
LABEL, BUS="scsi", vendor="IBM-ESXS", NAME="1/2/a/b/node", SYMLINK="1/2/c/d/symlink"
Dec 7 06:48:34 pim udev[13789]: create_node: symlink 'udev-root/1/2/c/d/symlink' to node '1/2/a/b/node' requested

Dec 7 06:48:34 pim udev[13789]: create_path: created 'udev-root/1/2/c/d'
Dec 7 06:48:34 pim udev[13789]: create_node: symlink(../../a/b/node, udev-root/1/2/c/d/symlink)
As promised yesterday, here is a patch to implement a more advanced
pattern matching instead of the simple '*'.
We can remove the "tty"="tty" line from udev.rules now and
replace "tty*" by "tty[0-9]*" to catch only the vc's.
implement pattern matching in namedev
'*' - to match zero or more chars
'?' - to match exactly one char
'[]' - character classes with ranges '[0-9]'and negation [!A]
