Subject: getting node from path
Date: Wed, 04 Feb 2004 01:40:05 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040204014005.30339.qmail@web14912.mail.yahoo.com> (raw)

My program needs to convert the device path into a node name. What's the best
way to do this?

The program resets the video hardware so it will run at early boot time. Is
there a static udev library I can link to? Or should I exec this:  udevinfo -r
-q name -p /class/dri/card0. Will the exec work during early boot?

How do I make sure that udev has had a chance to create the node before I try
using it? My driver will probably be compiled in so I will get my hotplug event
very early.
