NAME

6       udevd - event managing daemon
7

SYNOPSIS

9       udevd [--daemon] [--debug-trace] [--verbose] [--version] [--help]
10
11       udevcontrol command
12

DESCRIPTION

14       udevd listens to kernel uevents and passes the incoming events to udev.
15       It ensures the right event order and takes care, that events for child
16       devices are delayed until the parent has finished the device handling.
17

OPTIONS

19       --daemon
20           Detach and run in the background.
21
22       --debug-trace
23           Run all events completely serialized. This may be useful if udev
24           triggers actions or loads kernel modules which cause problems and a
25           slow but continuous operation is needed, where no events are
26           processed in parallel.
27
28       --verbose
29           Print log messages to stdout.
30
31       --version
32           Print version number.
33
34       --help
35           Print usage.
36
37       log_priority=value
38           Set the internal log level of udevd. Valid values are the numerical
39           syslog priorities or their textual representations: err, info and
40           debug.
41
42       stop_exec_queue
43           Signal udevd to stop executing new events. Incoming events will be
44           queued.
45
46       start_exec_queue
47           Signal udevd to enable the execution of events.
48
49       reload_rules
50           Signal udevd to reload the rules from the config.
51
52       env var=value
53           Set global variable.
54
55       max_childs
56           Set the maximum number of events, udevd will handle at the same
57           time.
58
59       max_childs_running
60           Set the maximum number of events, which are allowed to run at the
61           same time.
62
63       help
64           Print help text.
65

ENVIRONMENT

67       UDEV_LOG
68           Overrides the syslog priority specified in the config file.
