  <refsect1><title>Description</title>
    <para>udev supplies the system software with device events, manages permissions
    of device nodes and may create additional symlinks in the <filename>/dev</filename>
    directory, or renames network interfaces. The kernel usually just assigns unpredictable
    device names based on the order of discovery. Meaningful symlinks or network device
    names provide a way to reliably identify devices based on their properties or
    current configuration.</para>

    <para>The udev daemon, <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-udevd.service</refentrytitle>
    <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>, receives device uevents directly from
    the kernel whenever a device is added or removed from the system, or it changes its
    state. When udev receives a device event, it matches its configured set of rules
    against various device attributes to identify the device. Rules that match may
    provide additional device information to be stored in the udev database or
    to be used to create meaningful symlink names.</para>

    <para>All device information udev processes is stored in the udev database and
    sent out to possible event subscribers. Access to all stored data and the event
    sources is provided by the library libudev.</para>
  </refsect1>

  <refsect1><title>Rules Files</title>
      <para>The udev rules are read from the files located in the
      system rules directory <filename>/usr/lib/udev/rules.d</filename>,
      the volatile runtime directory <filename>/run/udev/rules.d</filename>
      and the local administration directory <filename>/etc/udev/rules.d</filename>.
      All rules files are collectively sorted and processed in lexical order,
      regardless of the directories in which they live. However, files with
      identical filenames replace each other. Files in <filename>/etc</filename>
      have the highest priority, files in <filename>/run</filename> take precedence
      over files with the same name in <filename>/usr/lib</filename>. This can be
      used to override a system-supplied rules file with a local file if needed;
      a symlink in <filename>/etc</filename> with the same name as a rules file in
      <filename>/usr/lib</filename>, pointing to <filename>/dev/null</filename>,
      disables the rules file entirely. Rule files must have the extension
      <filename>.rules</filename>; other extensions are ignored.</para>

      <para>Every line in the rules file contains at least one key-value pair.
      Except for empty lines or lines beginning with <literal>#</literal>, which are ignored.
      There are two kinds of keys: match and assignment.
      If all match keys match against their values, the rule gets applied and the
      assignment keys get the specified values assigned.</para>

      <para>A matching rule may rename a network interface, add symlinks
      pointing to the device node, or run a specified program as part of
      the event handling.</para>

      <para>A rule consists of a comma-separated list of one or more key-value pairs.
      Each key has a distinct operation, depending on the used operator. Valid
      operators are:</para>

      <para>The following key names can be used to match against device properties.
      Some of the keys also match against properties of the parent devices in sysfs,
      not only the device that has generated the event. If multiple keys that match
      a parent device are specified in a single rule, all these keys must match at
      one and the same parent device.</para>

          <term><literal>*</literal></term>
          <listitem>
            <para>Matches zero or more characters.</para>

        <varlistentry>
          <term><literal>[]</literal></term>
          <listitem>
            <para>Matches any single character specified within the brackets. For
            example, the pattern string <literal>tty[SR]</literal>
            would match either <literal>ttyS</literal> or <literal>ttyR</literal>.
            Ranges are also supported via the <literal>-</literal> character.
            For example, to match on the range of all digits, the pattern
            <literal>[0-9]</literal> could be used. If the first character

            <para>Multiple symlinks may be specified by separating the names by the
            space character. In case multiple devices claim the same name, the link
            always points to the device with the highest link_priority. If the current
            device goes away, the links are re-evaluated and the device with the
            next highest link_priority becomes the owner of the link. If no
            link_priority is specified, the order of the devices (and which one of
            them owns the link) is undefined.</para>
            <para>Symlink names must never conflict with the kernel's default device
            node names, as that would result in unpredictable behavior.
