Hi folks,
when I get an udev_device from the udev_monitor, because the device has been
unplugged, the 'udev_device_get_sysattr_value()' call returns 'null' (in my
case I was looking for the "serial" of an usb_device). From my understanding
this value should still be cached, even if the device is already removed?
Is there any other way to get this value?
Best
Stefan

Devices which are removed have no attributes, not in sysfs, not
anywhere else. They are just gone.

You have to store stuff you want to remember in the udev database,
which is available during remove, everything else is not.
