udev - a userspace device manager For more information on the design, and structure of this project, see the files in the docs/ directory. To use: - You must be running a 2.6 version of the Linux kernel. - Your 2.6 kernel must have had CONFIG_HOTPLUG enabled when it was built. - Make sure sysfs is mounted at /sys. No other location is supported. You can mount it by running: mount -t sysfs none /sys - Make sure you integrate udev with your hotplug setup. There is a copy of the rules files for all major distros in the etc/udev folder. You may look there how others are doing it. - Make sure you integrate with the kernel hotplug events. Later versions of udev are able to listen directly to a netlink socket, older versions used udevsend to feed the udev daemon with the kernel event. The most basic setup to run udev is to let the kernel for the udev binary directly: echo "/sbin/udev" > /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug While this may work in some setups, it is not recommended to do. A recent kernel and udev version is able to operate with the event serializing daemon udevd, that makes sure, that no "remove" event will beat a "add" event for the same device. - Build the project: make Note: There are a number of different flags that you can use when building udev. They are as follows: prefix set this to the default root that you want udev to be installed into. This works just like the 'configure --prefix' script does. Default value is ''. Only override this if you really know what you are doing. USE_KLIBC if set to 'true', udev is built and linked against the included version of klibc. Default value is 'false'. USE_LOG if set to 'true', udev will emit messages to the syslog when it creates or removes device nodes. This is helpful to see what udev is doing. This is enabled by default. Note, if you are building udev against klibc it is recommended that you disable this option (due to klibc's syslog implementation.) USE_SELINUX if set to 'true', udev will be built with SELinux support enabled. This is disabled by default. DEBUG if set to 'true', debugging messages will be sent to the syslog as udev is run. Default value is 'false'. KERNEL_DIR If this is not set it will default to /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build This is used if USE_KLIBC=true to find the kernel include directory that klibc needs to build against. This must be set if you are not building udev while running a 2.6 kernel. So, if you want to build udev using klibc with debugging messages, you would do: make USE_KLIBC=true DEBUG=true udev will follow the setting of the debug level in udev.conf. Adapt this value to see the debug in syslog. - Install the project: make install This will put the udev binaries in /sbin, create the and /etc/udev directories, and place the udev configuration files in /etc/udev/. You will probably want to edit the *.rules files to create custom naming rules. More info on how the config files are set up are contained in comments in the files, and is located in the documentation. - Add and remove devices from the system and marvel as nodes are created and removed in /dev based on the device types. - If you later get sick of it, uninstall it: make uninstall If nothing seems to happen, make sure your build worked properly by running the udev-test.pl script as root in the test/ subdirectory of the udev source tree. Running udevstart should populate an empty /dev directory. You may test, if a node is recreated after running udevstart. Development and documentation help is very much appreciated, see the TODO file for a list of things left to be done.
