NAME

6       udevd - event managing daemon
7

SYNOPSIS

9       udevd [--daemon] [--debug-trace] [--debug] [--version]
10             [--resolve-names=early|late|never] [--help]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       udevd listens to kernel uevents and passes the incoming events to udev.
14       It ensures the correct event order and takes care, that events for
15       child devices are delayed until the parent event has finished the
16       device handling. The behavior of the running daemon can be changed with
17       udevadm control.

OPTIONS

20       --daemon
21           Detach and run in the background.
22
23       --debug-trace
24           Run all events completely serialized. This may be useful if udev
25           triggers actions or loads kernel modules which cause problems and a
26           slow but continuous operation is needed, where no events are
27           processed in parallel.
28
29       --debug
30           Print debug messages to stderr.
31
32       --resolve-names
33           Specify when udevd should resolve names of users and groups. When
34           set to early (the default) names will be resolved when the rules
35           are parsed. When set to late names will be resolved for every
36           event. When set to never names will never be resolved and all
37           devices will be owned by root.
38
39       --version
40           Print version number.
41
42       --help
43           Print help text.
44

ENVIRONMENT

46       UDEV_LOG
47           Overrides the syslog priority specified in the config file.
