There is no such standard. You can specify the location in the udev.conf
file. But be aware that newer udev versions use that value to create a
directory and not a single file.

Allmost all users of udev use tmpfs. If /dev is on tmpfs and you find a
db file/directory at the specified location, you can assume that udev
maintains the directory.
