DESCRIPTION

udevadm

expects a command and command specific options. It controls the runtime behavior of systemd-udevd, requests kernel events, manages the event queue, and provides simple debugging mechanisms.  

OPTIONS

-d, --debug

Print debug messages to standard error.

--version

Print a short version string and exit.

-h, --help

Print a short help text and exit.
 

udevadm info [options] [devpath|file]

Queries the udev database for device information stored in the udev database. It can also query the properties of a device from its sysfs representation to help creating udev rules that match this device.

-q, --query=TYPE

Query the database for the specified type of device data. It needs the --path or --name to identify the specified device. Valid TYPEs are: name, symlink, path, property, all.

-p, --path=DEVPATH

The /sys path of the device to query, e.g. [/sys]/class/block/sda. Note that this option usually is not very useful, since udev can guess the type of the argument, so udevadm --devpath=/class/block/sda is equivalent to udevadm /sys/class/block/sda.

-n, --name=FILE

The name of the device node or a symlink to query, e.g. [/dev]/sda. Note that this option usually is not very useful, since udev can guess the type of the argument, so udevadm --name=sda is equivalent to udevadm /dev/sda.

-r, --root

Print absolute paths in name or symlink query.

-a, --attribute-walk

Print all sysfs properties of the specified device that can be used in udev rules to match the specified device. It prints all devices along the chain, up to the root of sysfs that can be used in udev rules.

-x, --export

Print output as key/value pairs. Values are enclosed in single quotes.

-P, --export-prefix=NAME

Add a prefix to the key name of exported values.

-d, --device-id-of-file=FILE

Print major/minor numbers of the underlying device, where the file lives on.

-e, --export-db

Export the content of the udev database.

-c, --cleanup-db

Cleanup the udev database.

--version

Print a short version string and exit.

-h, --help

Print a short help text and exit.

In addition, an optional positional argument can be used to specify a device name or a sys path. It must start with /dev or /sys respectively.  

udevadm trigger [options] [devpath|file...]

Request device events from the kernel. Primarily used to replay events at system coldplug time.

-v, --verbose

Print the list of devices which will be triggered.

-n, --dry-run

Do not actually trigger the event.

-t, --type=TYPE

Trigger a specific type of devices. Valid types are: devices, subsystems. The default value is devices.

-c, --action=ACTION

Type of event to be triggered. The default value is change.

-s, --subsystem-match=SUBSYSTEM

Trigger events for devices which belong to a matching subsystem. This option can be specified multiple times and supports shell style pattern matching.

-S, --subsystem-nomatch=SUBSYSTEM

Do not trigger events for devices which belong to a matching subsystem. This option can be specified multiple times and supports shell style pattern matching.

-a, --attr-match=ATTRIBUTE=VALUE

Trigger events for devices with a matching sysfs attribute. If a value is specified along with the attribute name, the content of the attribute is matched against the given value using shell style pattern matching. If no value is specified, the existence of the sysfs attribute is checked. This option can be specified multiple times.

-A, --attr-nomatch=ATTRIBUTE=VALUE

Do not trigger events for devices with a matching sysfs attribute. If a value is specified along with the attribute name, the content of the attribute is matched against the given value using shell style pattern matching. If no value is specified, the existence of the sysfs attribute is checked. This option can be specified multiple times.

-p, --property-match=PROPERTY=VALUE

Trigger events for devices with a matching property value. This option can be specified multiple times and supports shell style pattern matching.

-g, --tag-match=PROPERTY

Trigger events for devices with a matching tag. This option can be specified multiple times.

-y, --sysname-match=PATH

Trigger events for devices for which the last component (i.e. the filename) of the /sys path matches the specified PATH. This option can be specified multiple times and also supports shell style pattern matching.

--name-match=NAME

Trigger events for devices with a matching device path. This option can be specified multiple times.

-b, --parent-match=SYSPATH

Trigger events for all children of a given device.

--version

Print a short version string and exit.

-h, --help

Print a short help text and exit.

In addition, optional positional arguments can be used to specify device names or sys paths. They must start with /dev or /sys respectively.  

udevadm settle [options]

Watches the udev event queue, and exits if all current events are handled.

-t, --timeout=SECONDS

Maximum number of seconds to wait for the event queue to become empty. The default value is 120 seconds. A value of 0 will check if the queue is empty and always return immediately.

-E, --exit-if-exists=FILE

Stop waiting if file exists.

--version

Print a short version string and exit.

-h, --help

Print a short help text and exit.
 

udevadm control option

Modify the internal state of the running udev daemon.

-e, --exit

Signal and wait for systemd-udevd to exit.

-l, --log-priority=value

Set the internal log level of systemd-udevd. Valid values are the numerical syslog priorities or their textual representations: emerg, alert, crit, err, warning, notice, info, and debug.

-s, --stop-exec-queue

Signal systemd-udevd to stop executing new events. Incoming events will be queued.

-S, --start-exec-queue

Signal systemd-udevd to enable the execution of events.

-R, --reload

Signal systemd-udevd to reload the rules files and other databases like the kernel module index. Reloading rules and databases does not apply any changes to already existing devices; the new configuration will only be applied to new events.

-p, --property=KEY=value

Set a global property for all events.

-m, --children-max=value

Set the maximum number of events, systemd-udevd will handle at the same time.

-t, --timeout=seconds

The maximum number of seconds to wait for a reply from systemd-udevd.

--version

Print a short version string and exit.

-h, --help

Print a short help text and exit.
 

udevadm monitor [options]

Listens to the kernel uevents and events sent out by a udev rule and prints the devpath of the event to the console. It can be used to analyze the event timing, by comparing the timestamps of the kernel uevent and the udev event.

-k, --kernel

Print the kernel uevents.

-u, --udev

Print the udev event after the rule processing.

-p, --property

Also print the properties of the event.

-s, --subsystem-match=string[/string]

Filter kernel uevents and udev events by subsystem[/devtype]. Only events with a matching subsystem value will pass.

-t, --tag-match=string

Filter udev events by tag. Only udev events with a given tag attached will pass.

--version

Print a short version string and exit.

-h, --help

Print a short help text and exit.
 

udevadm test [options] [devpath]

Simulate a udev event run for the given device, and print debug output.

-a, --action=string

The action string.

-N, --resolve-names=early|late|never

Specify when udevadm should resolve names of users and groups. When set to early (the default), names will be resolved when the rules are parsed. When set to late, names will be resolved for every event. When set to never, names will never be resolved and all devices will be owned by root.

--version

Print a short version string and exit.

-h, --help

Print a short help text and exit.
 

udevadm test-builtin [options] [command] [devpath]

Run a built-in command COMMAND for device DEVPATH, and print debug output.

--version

Print a short version string and exit.

-h, --help

Print a short help text and exit.
