Hello,

Several weeks ago I had need of libudev, and was unable to find very
much documentation for it on the web.

I have created a guide on how to use libudev, which also provides some
background information on /dev, Sysfs, and why this kind of thing is needed.

Please check it out and provide comments, as I'm sure there are things
which I have gotten wrong or omitted.

The guide can be found here:

Thanks,

Alan.
