Options Detach and run in the background. Print debug messages to stderr. Limit the number of parallel executed events. Number of seconds to delay the execution of RUN instructions. This might be useful when debugging system crashes during coldplug cause by loading non-working kernel modules. Specify when udevd should resolve names of users and groups. When set to (the default) names will be resolved when the rules are parsed. When set to names will be resolved for every event. When set to names will never be resolved and all devices will be owned by root. Print version number. Print help text. Environment UDEV_LOG= Set the logging priority. Kernel command line udev.log-priority= Set the logging priority. udev.children-max= Limit the number of parallel executed events. udev.exec-delay= Number of seconds to delay the execution of RUN instructions.
