NAME
       udev   dynamic device management

DESCRIPTION
       udev provides a dynamic device directory containing only the files for
       actually present devices. It creates or removes device node files in
       the /dev directory, or it renames network interfaces.

       Usually udev runs as udevd(8) and receives uevents directly from the
       kernel if a device is added or removed from the system.

       If udev receives a device event, it matches its configured rules
       against the available device attributes provided in sysfs to identify
       the device. Rules that match may provide additional device information
       or specify a device node name and multiple symlink names and instruct
       udev to run additional programs as part of the device event handling.

CONFIGURATION
       udev configuration files are placed in /etc/udev/ and /lib/udev/. All
       empty lines, or lines beginning with '
