NAME

       upstart-udev-bridge - Bridge between Upstart and udev

SYNOPSIS

       upstart-udev-bridge [OPTIONS]...

DESCRIPTION

       upstart-udev-bridge receives information about kernel uevents that udev(8) has completed and creates init(8) events for them.

       It  emits  events  which  match the pattern "S-device-A" where 'S' is the udev subsystem and 'A' is one of added, changed or removed, which
       correspond to the past tense of the udev 'action'.

       See udev(7) and for further details.

       Assuming /sys is mounted, possible values for subsystem for your system are viewable via /sys/class/.

OPTIONS

       --daemon
	      Detach and run in the background.

       --debug
	      Enable debugging output.

       --help Show brief usage summary.

       --no-strip
	      Do not modify udev message contents. By default, all udev data will have non-printable bytes removed. This option reverts the behav-
	      iour  to	not  modifying	the data in any way. This option is not recommended since specifying it could result in udev(7) events not
	      being emitted as Upstart events should any of your hardware expose non-printable characters to the kernel. You can establish whether
	      this is happening by running without specifying this option but with the --debug option.

       --verbose
	      Enable verbose output.

EXAMPLES

       Some examples of Upstart events generated by this bridge:

       net-device-added
	      Event emitted when a network device is added.

       net-device-removed
	      Event emitted when a network device is removed.

       graphics-card-added
	      Event emitted when a graphics device is available to the system.

NOTES

       This is a temporary tool until init(8) itself gains the functionality to read them directly; you should not rely on its behaviour.
