<para><command>systemd-udevd</command> listens to kernel uevents.
For every event, systemd-udevd executes matching instructions
specified in udev rules. See <citerefentry>
<refentrytitle>udev</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum>
</citerefentry>.</para>
<para>The behavior of the daemon can be configured using
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>udev.conf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
its command line options, environment variables, and on the kernel
command line, or changed dynamically with <command>udevadm
control</command>.

<listitem>
<para>Network interfaces are renamed to give them predictable names when possible (unless
<varname>net.ifnames=0</varname> is specified, see above). With this kernel command line option it
is possible to pick a specific version of this algorithm and override the default chosen at
compilation time. Expects one of the naming scheme identifiers listed in
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.net-naming-scheme</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
or <literal>latest</literal> to select the latest scheme known (to this particular version of
<filename>systemd-udevd.service</filename>).</para>
<para>Note that selecting a specific scheme is not sufficient to fully stabilize interface naming:
the naming is generally derived from driver attributes exposed by the kernel. As the kernel is
updated, previously missing attributes <filename>systemd-udevd.service</filename> is checking might
appear, which affects older name derivation algorithms, too.</para>
