Socket udev events (noobie)

Socket udev events (noobie)

[Sting Zax]

Hello,
I saw that in udev.c , when getting socket events
(name_loop->name is "socket:"), than
we call pass_env_to_socket and not runn the program is
in all other cases , where the program name is in
fact name_loop->name  (by calling run_program).
My question is : which are the eventes which their name
is "socket:"?
regards,
Sting

These are not special events, these are RUN keys with the prefix
"socket:" plus the name of an abstract namespace socket where the
event is passed to instead of forking a program.

Udevmonitor is connected like this:
  RUN+="socket:/org/kernel/udev/monitor"

It listens on the socket with the specified name.
