abf2d20a 20The devfsd programme is a daemon, run by the system boot scripts which
21can provide for intelligent management of device entries in the Device
22Filesystem (devfs).
9367c950 23
abf2d20a 24As part of its setup phase devfsd creates certain symbolic links which
25are compiled into the code. These links are required by
26/usr/src/linux/Documentation/devices.txt. This behaviour may change in
27future revisions.
9367c950 28
abf2d20a 29devfsd will read the special control file .devfsd in a mounted devfs,
30listening for the creation and removal of device entries (this is
31termed a change operation). For each change operation, devfsd can take
32many actions. The daemon will normally run itself in the background
33and send messages to syslog.
9367c950 34
abf2d20a 35The opening of the syslog service is automatically delayed until
36/dev/log is created.
9367c950 37
abf2d20a 38At startup, before switching to daemon mode, devfsd will scan the
39mounted device tree and will generate synthetic REGISTER events for
40each leaf node.
