man udev says:

| for SUBSYSTEMS, KERNELS, DRIVERS and ATTRS.

What exactly does this mean?

Why should anyone need the name of a device, he didn't search for?

Could someone give me an example, where someone may be interested in an
device name of an device, he just used, to narrow his rule to the one
device, he is looking for.
