New page

'''udev''' is the device manager for the [[Linux kernel]]. Primarily, it manages [[device node]]s in <tt>[[Filesystem Hierarchy Standard|/dev]]</tt>. It is the successor of [[devfs]] and hotplug, which means that it handles the <tt>/dev</tt> directory and all [[user space]] actions when adding/removing devices, including [[firmware]] load.

==History==
udev was new in Linux 2.5.

The Linux kernel version 2.6.13 introduced or updated a new version of the [[uevent]] interface. A system using a new version of udev will not boot with kernels older than 2.6.13 unless udev is disabled and a traditional <tt>/dev</tt> directory is used for device access.

==Overview==
Unlike traditional [[Unix]] systems, where the [[device node]]s in the <tt>/dev</tt> directory have been a static set of files, the Linux udev device manager dynamically provides only the nodes for the devices actually present on a system. Although devfs used to provide similar functionality, advocates of udev cited a number of reasons for preferring its implementation over devfs:

*udev supports persistent device naming, which does not depend on, for example, the order in which the devices are plugged into the system. The default udev setup provides persistent names for storage devices. Any hard disk is recognized by its unique filesystem id, the name of the disk and the physical location on the hardware it is connected to.
*udev executes entirely in [[user space]], as opposed to devfs' [[kernel space]]. One consequence is that udev moved the naming policy out of the kernel and can run arbitrary programs to compose a name for the device from the device's properties, before the node is created.

==Operation==
udev is a generic kernel device manager. It runs as a [[Daemon (computer software)|daemon]] on a Linux system and listens (via [[netlink]] socket) to uevents the kernel sends out if a new device is initialized or a device is removed from the system.
The system provides a set of rules that match against exported values of the event and properties of the discovered device.
A matching rule will possibly name and create a device node and run configured programs to set-up and configure the device.

udev rules can match on properties like the kernel subsystem, the kernel device name, the physical location of the device, or properties like the device's serial number. Rules can also request information from external programs to name a device or specify a custom name that will always be the same, regardless of the order devices are discovered by the system.

In the past a common way to use udev on Linux systems was to let it send events through a socket to [[HAL (software)|HAL]], which would perform further device-specific actions. For example, HAL would notify other software running on the system that the new hardware had arrived by issuing a broadcast message on the [[D-Bus]] [[Inter-process communication|IPC]] system to all interested [[process (computing)|processes]]. In this way, desktops such as [[GNOME]] or [[KDE]] could open a file browser to newly attached [[USB flash drive]]s and [[Secure Digital|SD cards]].

By the middle of 2011 HAL had been deprecated by most Linux distributions as well as by the KDE, GNOME desktop environments, among others. The functionality previously embodied in HAL has been integrated into udev itself, or moved to separate software such as [[udisks]] and [[upower]].

==Architecture==

The system is divided into three parts:

* The library ''libudev'', that allows access to device information.
* The daemon ''udevd'', in user space, that manages the virtual <tt>/dev</tt>.
* The administrative command ''udevadm'' for diagnostics.

The system gets calls from the kernel via netlink socket. Earlier versions used [[Hotplug (software)|hotplug]], adding a link to themselves in <tt>/etc/hotplug.d/default</tt> with this purpose.

==Authors==
udev was developed by [[Greg Kroah-Hartman]] and [[Kay Sievers]], with much help from [[Dan Stekloff]], among others.
