Lennart Poettering 818bf54632 tree-wide: drop 'This file is part of systemd' blurb
This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:

https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html

The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.

hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.

<title>Description</title>
<para><function>udev_new()</function> allocates a new udev context
object and returns a pointer to it. This object is opaque and must
not be accessed by the caller via different means than functions
provided by libudev. Initially, the reference count of the context
is 1. You can acquire further references, and drop gained references
via <function>udev_ref()</function> and
<function>udev_unref()</function>. Once the reference count hits 0,
the context object is destroyed and freed.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Return Value</title>
<para>On success, <function>udev_new()</function> returns a pointer
to the allocated udev context. On failure, <constant>NULL</constant>
is returned. <function>udev_ref()</function> returns the argument
that it was passed, unmodified. <function>udev_unref()</function>
always returns <constant>NULL</constant>.</para>
