46.Os
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.Dq 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.Pp
106.Ss Sub-statements
107The following sub-statements are supported within the
108.Dq options
109statement.
110.Bl -tag -width ".Ic directory"
111.It Ic directory \*q/some/path\*q;
112Adds the given directory to the list of directories from which
113.Xr devd 8
114will read
115configuration files. Any number of
116.Dq directory
117statements can be used.
118.It Ic pid-file \*q/var/run/devd.pid\*q;
119Specifies pid file.
120.It Ic set regexp-name \*q(some|regexp)\*q;
121Creates a regular expression and assigns it to the variable
122.Va regexp-name .
123The variable is avaiable throughout the rest of
124the configuration file.
125All regular expressions have an implicit
126.Ql Li ^$
127around them.
128.El
129.Pp
130The following sub-statements are supported within the
131.Dq attach
132and
133.Dq detach
134statements.
135.Bl -tag -width ".Ic directory"
136.It Ic action \*qcommand\*q;
137Command to execute upon a successful match.
138Example
139.Ic /etc/pccard_ether $device-name start
140.It Ic class \*qstring\*q;
141This is shorthand for
142.Dq match \*qclass\*q .
143.It Ic device-name \*qstring\*q;
144This is shorthand for
145.Dq match \*qdevice-name\*q .
146This matches a device named
147.Va string ;
148which is allowed to be a regular expression or a variable previously created
149containing a regular expression.
150The
151.Va device-name
152variable
153is avaiable for later use with the action-statement.
154.It Ic match \*qvariable\*q \*qvalue\*q;
155Matches the content of
156.Va value
157against
158.Va variable ,
159the content of
160.Va value
161may be a regular expression.
162Not required during
163.Dq Li attach
164nor
165.Dq Li detach
166events since the
167.Dq Li device-name
168statement takes care of all device matching.
169For a partial list of variables, see below.
170.It Ic media-type \*qstring\*q;
171This is shorthand for
172.Dq match \*qdevice-name\*q .
173.It Ic subdevice \*qstring\*q;
174This is shorthand for
175.Dq match \*qsubdevice\*q .
176.El
177.Pp
178The following sub-statements are supported within the
179.Dq nomatch
180statement.
181.Bl -tag -width ".Ic directory"
182.It Ic action \*qcommand\*q;
183Same as above.
184.It Ic match \*qvariable\*q \*qvalue\*q;
185Matches the content of
186.Va value
187against
188.Va variable ,
189the content of
190.Va value
191may be a regular expression.
192For a partial list of variables, see below.
193.El
194.Pp
195The following sub-statements are supported within the
196.Dq notify
197statement.
198The
199.Dq Li notify
200variable is avaiable inside this statement and contains, a value, depending
201on which system and subsystem that delivered the event.
202.Bl -tag -width ".Ic directory"
203.It Ic action \*qcommand\*q;
204Command to execute upon a successful match. Example
205.Ic /etc/rc.d/power_profile $notify
206.It Ic match \*qsystem|subsystem|type|notify\*q \*qvalue\*q;
207Any number of
208.Dq match
209statements can exists within a
210.Dq notify
211statement.
212.Va value
213can be either a fixed string or a regular expression.
214Below is a list of avaiable systems, subsystems, and types.
215.El
216.Ss Variables that can be used with the match statement
217A partial list of variables and their possible values that can be used together
218with the
219.Dq match

271.It ACPI
272Events related to the ACPI subsystem.
273.Bl -tag -compact

302.El
303.El
304.El
305.Pp
306A link state change to UP on the interface
307.Dq fxp0
308would result in the following notify event:
309.Bd -literal -offset indent
310system=IFNET, subsystem=fxp0, type=LINK_UP
311.Ed
312.Pp
313An AC line state change to
314.Dq offline
315would result in the following event:
316.Bd -literal -offset indent
317system=ACPI, subsystem=ACAD, notify=0x00
318.Ed
319.Ss Comments
320Comments may appear anywhere that whitespace may appear in a
321configuration file.
322To appeal to programmers of all kinds, they can
323be written in C, C++, or shell/Perl constructs.
324.Pp
325C-style comments start with the two characters
326.Ql /*
327(slash, star) and end with
328.Ql */
329(star, slash).
330Because they are completely delimited with these characters,
331they can be used to comment only a portion of a line or to span
332multiple lines.
333.Pp
334C-style comments cannot be nested.
335For example, the following is
336not valid because the entire comment ends with the first
337.Ql */ :
338.Bd -literal -offset indent
339/* This is the start of a comment.
340   This is still part of the comment.
341/* This is an incorrect attempt at nesting a comment. */
342   This is no longer in any comment. */
343.Ed
344.Pp
345C++-style comments start with the two characters
346.Ql //
347(slash, slash) and continue to the end of the physical line.
348They cannot be continued across multiple physical lines; to have
349one logical comment span multiple lines, each line must use the
350.Dq //
351pair.
352For example:
353.Bd -literal -offset indent
354// This is the start of a comment.  The next line
355// is a new comment, even though it is logically
356// part of the previous comment.
