The "include" files had type "book" for some raeason. I don't think this is meaningful. Let's just use the same everywhere. $ perl -i -0pe 's^..DOCTYPE (book|refentry) PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.[25]//EN"\s+"http^<!DOCTYPE refentry PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.5//EN"\n "http^gms' man/*.xml

<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><filename>libudev.h</filename> provides APIs to introspect
|
|
and enumerate devices on the local system.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>All functions require a libudev context to operate. This
|
|
context can be create via
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>udev_new</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
|
|
It is used to track library state and link objects together. No
|
|
global state is used by libudev, everything is always linked to
|
|
a udev context.</para>
|
|
|
|
<xi:include href="threads-aware.xml" xpointer="strict"/>
|
|
|
|
<para>To introspect a local device on a system, a udev device
|
|
object can be created via
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>udev_device_new_from_syspath</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
and friends. The device object allows one to query current state,
|
|
read and write attributes and lookup properties of the device in
|
|
question.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>To enumerate local devices on the system, an enumeration
|
|
object can be created via
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>udev_enumerate_new</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>To monitor the local system for hotplugged or unplugged
|
|
devices, a monitor can be created via
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>udev_monitor_new_from_netlink</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Whenever libudev returns a list of objects, the
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>udev_list_entry</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
API should be used to iterate, access and modify those lists.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Furthermore, libudev also exports legacy APIs that should
|
|
not be used by new software (and as such are not documented as
|
|
part of this manual). This includes the hardware database known
|
|
as <constant>udev_hwdb</constant> (please use the new
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd-hwdb</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
API instead) and the <constant>udev_queue</constant> object to
|
|
query the udev daemon (which should not be used by new software
|
|
at all).</para>
