    <para>On success, <function>udev_device_get_syspath()</function>,
    <function>udev_device_get_sysname()</function>,
    <function>udev_device_get_sysnum()</function>,
    <function>udev_device_get_devpath()</function>,
    <function>udev_device_get_devnode()</function>,
    <function>udev_device_get_devtype()</function>,
    <function>udev_device_get_subsystem()</function>,
    <function>udev_device_get_driver()</function> and
    <function>udev_device_get_action()</function> return a pointer
    to a constant string that describes the requested property. The
    lifetime of this string is bound to the device it was requested
    on. On failure, each function may return
    <constant>NULL</constant>.</para>

    <para>On success, <function>udev_device_get_devnum()</function>
    returns the device type of the passed device. On failure, a
    device type with minor and major number set to
    <constant>0</constant> is returned.</para>

    <para><function>udev_device_get_udev()</function> always returns
    a valid pointer to the udev context that this device belongs
    to.</para>

    <para>On success, <function>udev_device_get_parent()</function>
    and
    <function>udev_device_get_parent_with_subsystem_devtype()</function>
    return a pointer to the parent device. No additional reference
    to this device is acquired, but the child device owns a reference
    to such a parent device. On failure, <constant>NULL</constant>
    is returned.</para>

    <para>On success, <function>udev_device_get_is_initialized()</function> returns either <constant>1</constant> or
    <constant>0</constant>, depending on whether the passed device has already been initialized by udev or not. On
    failure, a negative error code is returned. Note that devices for which no udev rules are defined are never
    reported initialized.</para>
