115 | <function>udev_device_new_from_device_id</function>, and | |
116 | <function>udev_device_new_from_environment</function> | |
117 | allocate a new udev device object and returns a pointer to it. This | |
118 | object is opaque and must not be accessed by the caller via different | |
119 | means than functions provided by libudev. Initially, the reference count | |
120 | of the device is 1. You can acquire further references, and drop | |
121 | gained references via <function>udev_device_ref()</function> and | |
122 | <function>udev_device_unref()</function>. Once the reference count hits 0, | |
123 | the device object is destroyed and freed.</para> | |

127 | <function>udev_device_new_from_subsystem_sysname</function>, and | |
128 | <function>udev_device_new_from_device_id</function> | |
129 | create the device object based on information found in | |
130 | <filename>/sys</filename> annotated with properties from the udev-internal | |
131 | device database. A syspath is any subdirectory of <filename>/sys</filename>, | |
132 | with the restriction that a subdirectory of <filename>/sys/devices</filename> | |
133 | (or a symlink to one) represents a real device and as such must contain | |
134 | a <filename>uevent</filename> file. <function>udev_device_new_from_devnum</function> | |
135 | takes a device type, which can be <constant>b</constant> for block devices or | |
136 | <constant>c</constant> for character devices, as well as a devnum (see | |
137 | <citerefentry><refentrytitle>makedev</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>). | |
138 | <function>udev_device_new_from_subsystem_sysname</function> looks up devices based | |
2ef24a16 TG |
139 | on the provided subsystem and sysname |
140 | (see <citerefentry><refentrytitle>udev_device_get_subsystem</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> | |
141 | and | |

143 | and <function>udev_device_new_from_device_id</function> looks up devices based on the provided | |
144 | device id which is a special string in one of the following four forms: | |
