Anyone else feel a need for more? The original intent for querying udev's db was: 1) API for applications to query what devices were currently configured on = the=20 system. This really shouldn't be done within udev, but could be done=20 externally hooking into udev through callout or DBUS events.=20 2) API for querying a device's name and its node, or the other way around. = This too could be done externally to udev. Or, it may not be needed at all. Either way, I think udevinfo is good enough for now.
