DESCRIPTION
       systemd-udevd listens to kernel uevents. For every event, systemd-udevd
       executes matching instructions specified in udev rules. See udev(7).

       The behavior of the daemon can be configured using udev.conf(5), its
       command line options, environment variables, and on the kernel command
       line, or changed dynamically with udevadm control.

OPTIONS
       -d, --daemon
           Detach and run in the background.

       -D, --debug
           Print debug messages to standard error.

       -c, --children-max=
           Limit the number of events executed in parallel.

       -e, --exec-delay=
           Delay the execution of each RUN{program} parameter by the given
           number of seconds. This option might be useful when debugging
           system crashes during coldplug caused by loading non-working kernel
           modules.

       -t, --event-timeout=
           Set the number of seconds to wait for events to finish. After this
           time, the event will be terminated. The default is 180 seconds.

       -s, --timeout-signal=
           Set the signal which systemd-udevd will send to forked off
           processes after reaching event timeout. The setting can be
           overridden at boot time with the kernel command line option
           udev.timeout_signal=. Setting to SIGABRT may be helpful in order to
           debug worker timeouts. Defaults to SIGKILL. Note that setting the
           option on the command line overrides the setting from the
           configuration file.

       -N, --resolve-names=
           Specify when systemd-udevd should resolve names of users and
           groups. When set to early (the default), names will be resolved
           when the rules are parsed. When set to late, names will be resolved
           for every event. When set to never, names will never be resolved
           and all devices will be owned by root.

       -h, --help
           Print a short help text and exit.

       --version
           Print a short version string and exit.

KERNEL COMMAND LINE
       Parameters prefixed with "rd." will be read when systemd-udevd is used
       in an initrd, those without will be processed both in the initrd and on
       the host.

       udev.log_level=, rd.udev.log_level=
           Set the log level.

       udev.children_max=, rd.udev.children_max=
           Limit the number of events executed in parallel.

       udev.exec_delay=, rd.udev.exec_delay=
           Delay the execution of each RUN{program} parameter by the given
           number of seconds. This option might be useful when debugging
           system crashes during coldplug caused by loading non-working kernel
           modules.

       udev.event_timeout=, rd.udev.event_timeout=
           Wait for events to finish up to the given number of seconds. This
           option might be useful if events are terminated due to kernel
           drivers taking too long to initialize.

       udev.timeout_signal=, rd.udev.timeout_signal=
           Specifies a signal that systemd-udevd will send to workers on
           timeout. Note that kernel command line option overrides both the
           setting in the configuration file and the one on the program
           command line.

       udev.blockdev_read_only, rd.udev.blockdev_read_only
           If specified, mark all physical block devices read-only as they
           appear. Synthetic block devices (such as loopback block devices or
           device mapper devices) are left as they are. This is useful to
           guarantee that the contents of physical block devices remains
           unmodified during runtime, for example to implement fully stateless
           systems, for testing or for recovery situations where corrupted
           file systems shall not be corrupted further through accidental
           modification.

           A block device may be marked writable again by issuing the blockdev
           --setrw command, see blockdev(8) for details.

       net.ifnames=
           Network interfaces are renamed to give them predictable names when
           possible. It is enabled by default; specifying 0 disables it.

       net.naming-scheme=
           Network interfaces are renamed to give them predictable names when
           possible (unless net.ifnames=0 is specified, see above). With this
           kernel command line option it is possible to pick a specific
           version of this algorithm and override the default chosen at
           compilation time. Expects one of the naming scheme identifiers
           listed in systemd.net-naming-scheme(7), or "latest" to select the
           latest scheme known (to this particular version of
           systemd-udevd.service).

           Note that selecting a specific scheme is not sufficient to fully
           stabilize interface naming: the naming is generally derived from
           driver attributes exposed by the kernel. As the kernel is updated,
           previously missing attributes systemd-udevd.service is checking
           might appear, which affects older name derivation algorithms, too.
