UDEVD(8)

NAME
udevd - event managing daemon

SYNOPSIS

udevd [--daemon] [--debug-trace] [--debug] [--version] [--help]

DESCRIPTION

udevd listens to kernel uevents and passes the incoming events to udev. It ensures the correct event order and takes care, that events for child devices are delayed until the parent event has finished the device handling. The behavior of the running daemon can be changed with udevadm control.

OPTIONS

--daemon
    Detach and run in the background.

--debug-trace
    Run all events completely serialized. This may be useful if udev triggers actions or loads kernel modules which cause problems and a slow but continuous operation is needed, where no events are processed in parallel.

--debug
    Print log messages to stdout.

--version
    Print version number.

help
    Print help text.

ENVIRONMENT

UDEV_LOG
    Overrides the syslog priority specified in the config file.
