11
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.

33 ing user's terminal.

36 -r rootdir Cause syseventd to use an alternate root path when
37 creating its door and lock files. Modules continue to
