|
|
.Sh OVERVIEW
|
|
.Ss General Syntax
|
|
A
|
|
.Xr devd 8
|
|
configuration consists of two general features, statements
|
|
and comments.
|
|
All statements end with a semicolon.
|
|
Many statements can contain substatements, which are each also
|
|
terminated with a semicolon.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following statements are supported:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 0n
|
|
.It Ic options
|
|
specifies various options and parameters for the operation of
|
|
.Xr devd 8 .
|
|
.It Ic attach
|
|
specifies various matching criteria and actions to perform when
|
|
a newly attached device matches said criteria.
|
|
.It Ic detach
|
|
specifies various matching criteria and actions to perform when
|
|
a newly attached device matches said criteria.
|
|
.It Ic nomatch
|
|
specifies various matching criteria and actions to perform when
|
|
no device driver currently loaded in the kernel claims a (new)
|
|
device.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Statements may occur in any order in the config file, and may be
|
|
repated as often as required.
|
|
Further details on the syntax and meaning of each statement, and their
|
|
substatements is explained below.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Comments may appear anywhere that whitespace may appear in a
|
|
configuration file. To appeal to programmers of all kinds, they can
|
|
be written in C, C++, or shell/perl constructs.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
C-style comments start with the two characters
|
|
.Li /*
|
|
(slash, star) and end with
|
|
.Li */
|
|
(star, slash).
|
|
Because they are completely delimited with these characters,
|
|
they can be used to comment only a portion of a line or to span
|
|
multiple lines.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
C-style comments cannot be nested. For example, the following is
|
|
not valid because the entire comment ends with the first
|
|
.Li */ :
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
/* This is the start of a comment.
|
|
This is still part of the comment.
|
|
/* This is an incorrect attempt at nesting a comment. */
|
|
This is no longer in any comment. */
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
C++-style comments start with the two characters
|
|
.Li //
|
|
(slash, slash) and continue to the end of the physical line.
|
|
They cannot be continued across multiple physical lines; to have
|
|
one logical comment span multiple lines, each line must use the
|
|
.Li //
|
|
pair. For example:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
// This is the start of a comment. The next line
|
|
// is a new comment, even though it is logically
|
|
// part of the previous comment.

.Sh BUGS
|
|
devd currently always runs "/etc/devd-generic $device $startstop" for
|
|
all device events, reguardless of what the config file says to do.
