Everything which is an absolute filename marked with <filename></filename> lands in the index, unless noindex= attribute is present. Should make it easier for people to find stuff when they are looking at a file on disk. Various formatting errors in manpages are fixed, kernel-install(1) is restored to formatting sanity.

<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>A unit configuration file whose name ends in
|
|
<filename>.device</filename> encodes information about
|
|
a device unit as exposed in the
|
|
sysfs/<citerefentry><refentrytitle>udev</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
device tree.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>This unit type has no specific options. See
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
for the common options of all unit configuration
|
|
files. The common configuration items are configured
|
|
in the generic <literal>[Unit]</literal> and
|
|
<literal>[Install]</literal> sections. A separate
|
|
<literal>[Device]</literal> section does not exist,
|
|
since no device-specific options may be
|
|
configured.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>systemd will automatically create dynamic device
|
|
units for all kernel devices that are marked with the
|
|
"systemd" udev tag (by default all block and network
|
|
devices, and a few others). This may be used to define
|
|
dependencies between devices and other
|
|
units.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Device units are named after the
|
|
<filename>/sys</filename> and
|
|
<filename>/dev</filename> paths they control. Example:
|
|
the device <filename noindex='true'>/dev/sda5</filename> is exposed
|
|
in systemd as <filename>dev-sda5.device</filename>. For
|
|
details about the escaping logic used to convert a
|
|
file system path to a unit name see
|

<title>The udev Database</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>The settings of device units may either be
|
|
configured via unit files, or directly from the udev
|
|
database (which is recommended). The following udev
|
|
properties are understood by systemd:</para>
|
|
|
|
<variablelist class='udev-directives'>
|
|
<varlistentry>
|
|
<term><varname>SYSTEMD_WANTS=</varname></term>
|
|
<listitem><para>Adds dependencies of
|
|
type <varname>Wants</varname> from
|
|
this unit to all listed units. This
|
|
may be used to activate arbitrary
|
|
units, when a specific device becomes
|
|
available. Note that this and the
|
|
other tags are not taken into account
|
|
unless the device is tagged with the
|
|
"<literal>systemd</literal>" string in
|
|
the udev database, because otherwise
|
|
the device is not exposed as systemd
|
|
unit.</para></listitem>

plugged the moment it shows up in the

udev tree. This property has no

influence on the behavior when a

device disappears from the udev

tree. This option is useful to support

devices that initially show up in an

uninitialized state in the tree, and for

which a changed event is generated the
