+.SH NAME
+udevd \- udev event serializer daemon
+.br
+udevsend \- sends the event to udevd
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.B udevd
+allows the serialization of
+.BR hotplug (8)
+events. The events generated by the kernel may arrive in random order
+in userspace, that makes it neccessary to reorder it.
+.br
+.B udevd
+takes care of the kernel supplied sequence number and arranges the events for
+execution in the correct order. Missing sequences are delaying the
+execution of the following events until a timeout of a maximum of 5 seconds
+is reached.
+.br
+For each event a
+.BR udev (8)
+instance is executed in the background. All further events for the same device
+are delayed until the execution is finished. This way it will never run more
+than one instance for a single device.
+.br
+.B udevd
+receives the events from
+.B udevsend
+which is called by
+.BR hotplug (8)
+
+.SH "SEE ALSO"
+.BR udev (8)
+.SH AUTHORS
+.B udevd
+was developed primarily by Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org>, with much help
+from others.
