Translations:Eudev/1/en

For configurations not using systemd, eudev is Gentoo's device file manager for the Linux kernel. It manages device nodes in and handles all user space actions when adding or removing devices. It is a fork of systemd's udev with the goal of obtaining better compatibility with existing software such as OpenRC, Upstart, older kernels, various toolchains, and anything else required by (but not well supported through) udev. Configurations utilizing systemd should not use it.
