The helper programs assist in correct handling of devices. If you want to run the testsuite, you need to change a hardcoded reference to the test program: sed -i 's@/usr/bin/test@/bin/test@' test/udev-test.pl To test the results, issue: make test. Install the package: make EXTRAS="extras/ata_id extras/cdrom_id extras/collect \ extras/edd_id extras/firmware extras/floppy extras/path_id extras/rule_generator \ extras/scsi_id extras/usb_id extras/volume_id" DESTDIR=/ udevdir=/dev install DESTDIR=/ This prevents the Udev build process from killing any udevd processes that may be running on the system. Install documentation: install -v -m644 -D docs/writing_udev_rules/index.html \ /usr/share/doc/udev-&udev-version;/index.html Create a directory for storing firmware that can be loaded by udev: install -dv /lib/firmware Installed programs Installed library Installed directory udevadm, udevd, udevinfo (symlink to udevadm), udevsettle (symlink to udevadm) libvolume_id /etc/udev, /lib/udev Short Descriptions udevadm This program combines udevinfo, udevtrigger, udevsettle, udevcontrol, udevmonitor, and udevtest into one command. udevadm udevadm control Configures a number of options for the running udevd daemon, such as the log level. (Symlink to udevadm) udevadm control udevd A daemon that reorders hotplug events before submitting them to udev, thus avoiding various race conditions udevd udevinfo Allows users to query the udev database for information on any device currently present on the system; it also provides a way to query any device in the sysfs tree to help create udev rules. (Symlink to udevadm) udevinfo udevadm monitor Prints the event received from the kernel and the event which udev sends out after rule processing udevadm monitor udevsettle Watches the Udev event queue and exits if all current uevents have been handled. (Symlink to udevadm) udevsettle udevadm test Simulates a udev run for the given device, and prints out the name of the node the real udev would have created or the name of the renamed network interface udevadm test udevadm trigger Walks the sysfs tree for devices that need to be added to the system. udevadm trigger ata_id Provides Udev with a unique string and additional information (uuid, label) for an ATA drive ata_id cdrom_id Print the capabilities of a CDROM or DVDROM drive. cdrom_id create_floppy_devices Creates all possible floppy devices based on the CMOS type create_floppy_devices dasd_id Read the label from an s390 block device. dasd_id edd_id Identify x86 disk drives from Enhanced Disk Drive calls. edd_id firmware.sh Script to load firmware for a device firmware.sh path_id Provide the shortest possible unique hardware path to a device path_id scsi_id Retrieve or generate a unique SCSI identifier. scsi_id usb_id Identify a USB block device. usb_id vol_id Probe filesystem type and read label and uuid. vol_id libvolume_id This library provides programs such as vol_id with a filesystems type, abel, and uuid from a device node or a image. libvolume_id /etc/udev Contains udev configuration files, device permissions, and rules for device naming /etc/udev /lib/udev Contains udev helper programs and static devices which get copied to /dev when booted. /lib/udev
