%general-entities; ]> Udev Compile the package: make EXTRAS="extras/floppy extras/cdrom_id extras/firmware \ extras/scsi_id extras/volume_id extras/ata_id extras/usb_id \ extras/edd_id extras/dasd_id extras/path_id" EXTRAS="extras/floppy extras/cdrom_id extras/firmware extras/scsi_id extras/volume_id extras/ata_id extras/usb_id extras/edd_id extras/dasd_id extras/path_id" This builds the helper applications that are used with udev. 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 DESTDIR=/ \ EXTRAS="extras/floppy extras/cdrom_id extras/firmware \ extras/scsi_id extras/volume_id extras/ata_id extras/usb_id \ extras/edd_id extras/dasd_id extras/path_id" install DESTDIR=/ This prevents the Udev build process from killing any udevd processes that may be running on the system. Install a necessary helper script: install -v extras/eventrecorder.sh /lib/udev Install the documentation that explains how to create Udev rules: 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 Finally, remove the rules installed by Udev as we will be installing custom Udev rules later: rm /etc/udev/rules.d/* Installed programs Installed directory udevcontrol, udevd, udevinfo, udevmonitor, udevsend, udevtest, and udevtrigger /etc/udev Short Descriptions udevcontrol Configures a number of options for the running udevd daemon, such as the log level. udevcontrol 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 udevinfo udevmonitor Prints the event received from the kernel and the event which udev sends out after rule processing udevmonitor udevsettle Watches the Udev event queue and exits if all current uevents have been handled udevsettle udevtest 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 udevtest udevtrigger Walks the sysfs tree for devices that need to be added to the system. udevtrigger 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 /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
