91 | <function>udev_device_new_from_device_id</function>, and | |
92 | <function>udev_device_new_from_environment</function> | |
93 | allocate a new udev device object and returns a pointer to it. This | |
94 | object is opaque and must not be accessed by the caller via different | |
95 | means than functions provided by libudev. Initially, the reference count | |
96 | of the device is 1. You can acquire further references, and drop | |
97 | gained references via <function>udev_device_ref()</function> and | |
98 | <function>udev_device_unref()</function>. Once the reference count hits 0, | |
99 | the device object is destroyed and freed.</para> | |

104 | <function>udev_device_new_from_device_id</function> | |
105 | create the device object based on information found in | |
b938cb90 | 106 | <filename>/sys</filename>, annotated with properties from the udev-internal |
00dbd902 TG |
107 | device database. A syspath is any subdirectory of <filename>/sys</filename>, |
108 | with the restriction that a subdirectory of <filename>/sys/devices</filename> | |
109 | (or a symlink to one) represents a real device and as such must contain | |
110 | a <filename>uevent</filename> file. <function>udev_device_new_from_devnum</function> | |
111 | takes a device type, which can be <constant>b</constant> for block devices or | |
112 | <constant>c</constant> for character devices, as well as a devnum (see | |
524f3e5c | 113 | <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>makedev</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>). |
00dbd902 | 114 | <function>udev_device_new_from_subsystem_sysname</function> looks up devices based |
2ef24a16 TG |
115 | on the provided subsystem and sysname |

119 | and <function>udev_device_new_from_device_id</function> looks up devices based on the provided | |
a8eaaee7 | 120 | device ID, which is a special string in one of the following four forms: |
