udevadm expects a command and command specific options\. It controls the runtime behavior of udev, request kernel events, manages the event queue, and provides simple debugging mechanisms\.
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\.
--query=type
Query the database for specified type of device data\. It needs the --path or --name to identify the specified device\. Valid queries are: name, symlink, path, env, all\.
--path=devpath
The devpath of the device to query\.
--name=node
The name of the device node or a symlink to query
--root
The udev root directory: /dev\. If used in conjunction with a name or symlink query, the query returns the absolute path including the root directory\.
--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\.
--export-db
Export the content of the udev database\.
--version
Print version\.
--help
Print help text\.
Request kernel device uevents, usually used to replay events at system coldplug\.
--verbose
Print the list of devices which will be triggered\.
--dry-run
Do not actually trigger the event\.
--retry-failed
Trigger only the events which are failed during a previous run\.
--action=action
Type of event to be triggered\. The default value is "add"\.
--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\.
--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\.
--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\.
--attr-nomatchattribute=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\.
Watches the udev event queue, and exits if all current events are handled\.
--timeout=seconds
Maximum seconds to wait for the queue to become empty\.
--help
Print help text\.
Modify the internal state of the running udev daemon\.
log_priority=value
Set the internal log level of udevd\. Valid values are the numerical syslog priorities or their textual representations: err, info and debug\.
stop_exec_queue
Signal udevd to stop executing new events\. Incoming events will be queued\.
start_exec_queue
Signal udevd to enable the execution of events\.
reload_rules
Signal udevd to reload the rules from the config\.
env var=value
Set global variable\.
max_childs
Set the maximum number of events, udevd will handle at the same time\.
max_childs_running
Set the maximum number of events, which are allowed to run at the same time\.
help
Print help text\.
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\.
--environment
Print the complete environment for all events\. Can be used to compare the kernel supplied and the udev added environment values\.
--kernel
Print the kernel uevents\.
--udev
Print the udev event after the rule processing\.
--help
Print help text\.
Simulate a udev event run for the given device, and print out debug output\. Unless forced to, no device node or symlink will be created\.
--action=string
The action string\.
--subsystem=string
The subsystem string\.
--force
Force the creation of a device node or symlink\. Usually the test run prints only debug output\.
--help
Print help text\.
Print version number\.
Print help text\.
