.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
file provides an easy way to create and apply
|
|
.Xr devfs 8
|
|
rules, even for devices that are not available at boot.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For devices available at boot, see
|
|
.Xr devfs.conf 5 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The format of this file is simple.
|
|
Empty lines and lines beginning with a hash sign
|
|
.Pq Ql #
|
|
are ignored.
|
|
A line between brackets denotes the start of a ruleset.
|
|
In the brackets should be the name of the ruleset and its number,
|
|
separated by an equal sign.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Other lines are rule specifications as documented in
|
|
.Xr devfs 8 ,
|
|
in the section
|
|
.Sx "Rule Specification" .
|
|
These lines are prepended with
|
|
.Dq Li rule
|
|
and are passed to
|
|
.Xr devfs 8
|
|
by the startup scripts of the system.
|
|
It is important to put path elements that contain
|
|
.Xr glob 3
|
|
special characters between quotes.
