Subject: [udev] make udev user callable to query the database (experimental)
Date: Tue, 30 Dec 2003 04:28:26 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <marc-linux-hotplug-107275855521649@msgid-missing> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 467 bytes --]
Here is a patch that makes it possible to call udev with options on the command line.
Valid options are for now:
-V for the udev version:
kay@pim:~/src/udev.kay$ ./udev -V
udev, version 011_bk
-r for the udev root:
kay@pim:~/src/udev.kay$ ./udev -r
/udev/
-q to query the database with the sysfs path for the name of the node:
kay@pim:~/src/udev.kay$ ./udev -q /class/video4linux/video0
test/video/webcam0
What do you think?
thanks,
Kay
