abf2d20a 18The devfsd programme is a daemon, run by the system boot scripts which
19can provide for intelligent management of device entries in the Device
20Filesystem (devfs).
9367c950 21
abf2d20a 22As part of its setup phase devfsd creates certain symbolic links which
23are compiled into the code. These links are required by
24/usr/src/linux/Documentation/devices.txt. This behaviour may change in
25future revisions.
9367c950 26
abf2d20a 27devfsd will read the special control file .devfsd in a mounted devfs,
28listening for the creation and removal of device entries (this is
29termed a change operation). For each change operation, devfsd can take
30many actions. The daemon will normally run itself in the background
31and send messages to syslog.
9367c950 32
abf2d20a 33The opening of the syslog service is automatically delayed until
34/dev/log is created.
9367c950 35
abf2d20a 36At startup, before switching to daemon mode, devfsd will scan the
37mounted device tree and will generate synthetic REGISTER events for
38each leaf node.
