NAME¶
upstart-udev-bridge - Bridge between Upstart and udev
SYNOPSIS¶
upstart-udev-bridge [
OPTIONS]...
DESCRIPTION¶
upstart-udev-bridge receives information about kernel uevents that
udev(8) has completed and creates
init(8) events for them.
It emits events which match the pattern "
S-device-
A"
where 'S' is the udev
subsystem and 'A' is one of
added,
changed or
removed, which correspond to the past tense of the
udev 'action'.
See
udev(7) and for further details.
Assuming
/sys is mounted, possible values for
subsystem for your
system are viewable via
/sys/class/.
OPTIONS¶
- --daemon
- Detach and run in the background.
- --debug
- Enable debugging output.
- --help
- Show brief usage summary.
- --no-strip
- Do not modify udev message contents. By default, all udev data will have
non-printable bytes removed. This option reverts the behaviour to not
modifying the data in any way. This option is not recommended since
specifying it could result in udev(7) events not being
emitted as Upstart events should any of your hardware expose non-printable
characters to the kernel. You can establish whether this is happening by
running without specifying this option but with the --debug
option.
- --verbose
- Enable verbose output.
EXAMPLES¶
Some examples of Upstart events generated by this bridge:
- net-device-added
- Event emitted when a network device is added.
- net-device-removed
- Event emitted when a network device is removed.
- graphics-card-added
- Event emitted when a graphics device is available to the system.
