47.Sh NAME
48.Nm devd.conf
49.Nd configuration file for
50.Xr devd 8
51.Sh DESCRIPTION
52.Ss General Syntax
53A
54.Xr devd 8
55configuration consists of two general features, statements
56and comments.
57All statements end with a semicolon.
58Many statements can contain substatements, which are also
59terminated with a semicolon.
60.Pp
61The following statements are supported:
62.Bl -tag -width ".Ic options"
63.It Ic attach
64Specifies various matching criteria and actions to perform when
65a newly attached device matches said criteria.
66.It Ic detach
67Specifies various matching criteria and actions to perform when
68a newly detached device matches said criteria.
69.It Ic nomatch
70Specifies various matching criteria and actions to perform when
71no device driver currently loaded in the kernel claims a (new)
72device.
73.It Ic notify
74Specifies various matching criteria and actions to perform when the kernel
75sends an event notification to userland.
76.It Ic options
77Specifies various options and parameters for the operation of
78.Xr devd 8 .
79.El
80.Pp
81Statements may occur in any order in the configuration file, and may be
82repeated as often as required.
83Further details on the syntax and meaning of each statement and their
84substatements are explained below.
85.Pp
86Each statement, except
87.Ic options
88has a priority (an arbitrary number) associated with it, where
89.Ql 0
90is defined as the lowest priority.
91If two statements match the same event, only the action of the statement with
92highest priority will be executed.
93In this way generic statements can be overridden for devices or
94notifications that require special attention.
95.Pp
96The general syntax of a statement is:
97.Pp
98.Bd -literal -offset indent
99statement priority {
100	substatement "value";
101	...
102	substatement "value";
103};
104.Ed
105.Ss Sub-statements
106The following sub-statements are supported within the
107.Ic options
108statement.
109.Bl -tag -width ".Ic directory"
110.It Ic directory Qq Ar /some/path ;
111Adds the given directory to the list of directories from which
112.Xr devd 8
113will read all files named "*.conf" as further
114configuration files.
115Any number of
116.Ic directory
117statements can be used.
118.It Ic pid-file Qq Pa /var/run/devd.pid ;
119Specifies PID file.
120.It Ic set Ar regexp-name Qq Ar (some|regexp) ;
121Creates a regular expression and assigns it to the variable
122.Ar regexp-name .
123The variable is available throughout the rest of
124the configuration file.
125All regular expressions have an implicit
126.Ql ^$
127around them.
128.El
129.Pp
130The following sub-statements are supported within the
131.Ic attach
132and
133.Ic detach
134statements.
135.Bl -tag -width ".Ic directory"
136.It Ic action Qq Ar command ;
137Command to execute upon a successful match.
138Example
139.Dq Li "/etc/pccard_ether $device-name start" .
140.It Ic class Qq Ar string ;
141This is shorthand for
142.Dq Ic match Qo Li class Qc Qq Ar string .
143.It Ic device-name Qq string ;
144This is shorthand for
145.Dq Ic match Qo Li device-name Qc Qq Ar string .
146This matches a device named
147.Ar string ,
148which is allowed to be a regular expression or a variable previously created
149containing a regular expression.
150The
151.Dq Li device-name
152variable
153is available for later use with the
154.Ic action
155statement.
156.It Ic match Qo Ar variable Qc Qq Ar value ;
157Matches the content of
158.Ar value
159against
160.Ar variable ;
161the content of
162.Ar value
163may be a regular expression.
164Not required during
165.Ic attach
166nor
167.Ic detach
168events since the
169.Ic device-name
170statement takes care of all device matching.
171For a partial list of variables, see below.
172.It Ic media-type Qq Ar string ;
173For network devices,
174.Ic media-type
175will match devices that have the given media type.
176Valid media types are:
177.Dq Li Ethernet ,
178.Dq Li Tokenring ,
179.Dq Li FDDI ,
180.Dq Li 802.11 ,
181.Dq Li ATM ,
182and
183.Dq Li CARP .
184.It Ic subdevice Qq Ar string ;
185This is shorthand for
186.Dq Ic match Qo Li subdevice Qc Qq Ar string .
187.El
188.Pp
189The following sub-statements are supported within the
190.Ic nomatch
191statement.
192.Bl -tag -width ".Ic directory"
193.It Ic action Qq Ar command ;
194Same as above.
195.It Ic match Qo Ar variable Qc Qq Ar value ;
196Matches the content of
197.Ar value
198against
199.Ar variable ;
200the content of
201.Ar value
202may be a regular expression.
203For a partial list of variables, see below.
204.El
205.Pp
206The following sub-statements are supported within the
207.Ic notify
208statement.
209The
210.Dq Li notify
211variable is available inside this statement and contains, a value, depending
212on which system and subsystem that delivered the event.
213.Bl -tag -width ".Ic directory"
214.It Ic action Qq Ar command ;
215Command to execute upon a successful match.
216Example
217.Dq Li "/etc/rc.d/power_profile $notify" .
218.It Ic match Qo Ar system | subsystem | type | notify Qc Qq Ar value ;
219Any number of
220.Ic match
221statements can exist within a
222.Ic notify
223statement;
224.Ar value
225can be either a fixed string or a regular expression.
226Below is a list of available systems, subsystems, and types.

428.Ed
429.Ss Comments
430Comments may appear anywhere that whitespace may appear in a
431configuration file.
432To appeal to programmers of all kinds, they can
433be written in C, C++, or shell/Perl constructs.
434.Pp
435C-style comments start with the two characters
436.Ql /*
437(slash, star) and end with
438.Ql */
439(star, slash).
440Because they are completely delimited with these characters,
441they can be used to comment only a portion of a line or to span
442multiple lines.
443.Pp
444C-style comments cannot be nested.
445For example, the following is
446not valid because the entire comment ends with the first
447.Ql */ :
448.Bd -literal -offset indent
449/* This is the start of a comment.
450   This is still part of the comment.
451/* This is an incorrect attempt at nesting a comment. */
452   This is no longer in any comment. */
453.Ed
454.Pp
455C++-style comments start with the two characters
456.Ql //
457(slash, slash) and continue to the end of the physical line.
458They cannot be continued across multiple physical lines; to have
459one logical comment span multiple lines, each line must use the
460.Ql //
461pair.
462For example:
463.Bd -literal -offset indent
464// This is the start of a comment.  The next line
465// is a new comment, even though it is logically
466// part of the previous comment.
