NAME

6       syseventd - kernel system event notification daemon
7

SYNOPSIS

9       /usr/lib/sysevent/syseventd [-d debug_level] [-r rootdir]
10
11

DESCRIPTION

13       syseventd  is a user-level daemon that accepts delivery of system event
14       buffers from the kernel. Once an event buffer  has  been  delivered  to
15       syseventd,  it,  in turn, attempts to propagate the event to all inter‐
16       ested end event subscribers.
17
18
19       Event subscribers take the form of a syseventd loadable  module  (SLM).
20       syseventd  passes  the  event  buffer to each of its subscribers and in
21       return expects a notification as  to  the  successful  or  unsuccessful
22       delivery attempt.
23
24
25       Upon  successful  delivery  of the event buffer to all interested event
26       subscribers, syseventd frees the event buffer  from  the  kernel  event
27       queue.
