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.Bd -literal -offset indent
98statement priority {
99	substatement "value";
100	...
101	substatement "value";
102};
103.Ed
104.Ss Sub-statements
105The following sub-statements are supported within the
106.Ic options
107statement.
108.Bl -tag -width ".Ic directory"
109.It Ic directory Qq Ar /some/path ;
110Adds the given directory to the list of directories from which
111.Xr devd 8
112will read all files named "*.conf" as further
113configuration files.
114Any number of
115.Ic directory
116statements can be used.
117.It Ic pid-file Qq Pa /var/run/devd.pid ;
118Specifies PID file.
119.It Ic set Ar regexp-name Qq Ar (some|regexp) ;
120Creates a regular expression and assigns it to the variable
121.Ar regexp-name .
122The variable is available throughout the rest of
123the configuration file.
124If the string begins with
125.Ql \&! ,
126it matches if the regular expression formed by the rest of the string
127does not match.
128All regular expressions have an implicit
129.Ql ^$
130around them.
131.El
132.Pp
133The following sub-statements are supported within the
134.Ic attach
135and
136.Ic detach
137statements.
138.Bl -tag -width ".Ic directory"
139.It Ic action Qq Ar command ;
140Command to execute upon a successful match.
141Example
142.Dq Li "/etc/pccard_ether $device-name start" .
143.It Ic class Qq Ar string ;
144This is shorthand for
145.Dq Ic match Qo Li class Qc Qq Ar string .
146.It Ic device-name Qq string ;
147This is shorthand for
148.Dq Ic match Qo Li device-name Qc Qq Ar string .
149This matches a device named
150.Ar string ,
151which is allowed to be a regular expression or a variable previously created
152containing a regular expression.
153The
154.Dq Li device-name
155variable
156is available for later use with the
157.Ic action
158statement.
159.It Ic match Qo Ar variable Qc Qq Ar value ;
160Matches the content of
161.Ar value
162against
163.Ar variable ;
164the content of
165.Ar value
166may be a regular expression.
167Not required during
168.Ic attach
169nor
170.Ic detach
171events since the
172.Ic device-name
173statement takes care of all device matching.
174For a partial list of variables, see below.
175.It Ic media-type Qq Ar string ;
176For network devices,
177.Ic media-type
178will match devices that have the given media type.
179Valid media types are:
180.Dq Li Ethernet ,
181.Dq Li Tokenring ,
182.Dq Li FDDI ,
183.Dq Li 802.11 ,
184and
185.Dq Li ATM .
186.It Ic subdevice Qq Ar string ;
187This is shorthand for
188.Dq Ic match Qo Li subdevice Qc Qq Ar string .
189.El
190.Pp
191The following sub-statements are supported within the
192.Ic nomatch
193statement.
194.Bl -tag -width ".Ic directory"
195.It Ic action Qq Ar command ;
196Same as above.
197.It Ic match Qo Ar variable Qc Qq Ar value ;
198Matches the content of
199.Ar value
200against
201.Ar variable ;
202the content of
203.Ar value
204may be a regular expression.
205For a partial list of variables, see below.
206.El
207.Pp
208The following sub-statements are supported within the
209.Ic notify
210statement.
211The
212.Dq Li notify
213variable is available inside this statement and contains, a value, depending
214on which system and subsystem that delivered the event.
215.Bl -tag -width ".Ic directory"
216.It Ic action Qq Ar command ;
217Command to execute upon a successful match.
218Example
219.Dq Li "/etc/rc.d/power_profile $notify" .
220.It Ic match Qo Ar system | subsystem | type | notify Qc Qq Ar value ;
221Any number of
222.Ic match
223statements can exist within a
224.Ic notify
225statement;
226.Ar value
227can be either a fixed string or a regular expression.
228Below is a list of available systems, subsystems, and types.
229.It Ic media-type Qq Ar string ;
230See above.

463.Ed
464.Ss Comments
465Comments may appear anywhere that whitespace may appear in a
466configuration file.
467To appeal to programmers of all kinds, they can
468be written in C, C++, or shell/Perl constructs.
469.Pp
470C-style comments start with the two characters
471.Ql /*
472(slash, star) and end with
473.Ql */
474(star, slash).
475Because they are completely delimited with these characters,
476they can be used to comment only a portion of a line or to span
477multiple lines.
478.Pp
479C-style comments cannot be nested.
480For example, the following is
481not valid because the entire comment ends with the first
482.Ql */ :
483.Bd -literal -offset indent
484/* This is the start of a comment.
485   This is still part of the comment.
486/* This is an incorrect attempt at nesting a comment. */
487   This is no longer in any comment. */
488.Ed
489.Pp
490C++-style comments start with the two characters
491.Ql //
492(slash, slash) and continue to the end of the physical line.
493They cannot be continued across multiple physical lines; to have
494one logical comment span multiple lines, each line must use the
495.Ql //
496pair.
497For example:
498.Bd -literal -offset indent
499// This is the start of a comment.  The next line
500// is a new comment, even though it is logically
501// part of the previous comment.
