NAME

udev.eclass - Default eclass for determining udev directories.

DESCRIPTION

Default eclass for determining udev directories.

EXAMPLE

inherit udev

# Example of the eclass usage:
RDEPEND="virtual/udev"
DEPEND="${RDEPEND}"

src_configure() {
econf --with-rulesdir="$(get_udevdir)"/rules.d
}

src_install() {
default
# udev_dorules contrib/99-foomatic
# udev_newrules contrib/98-foomatic 99-foomatic
}

FUNCTIONS

udev_get_udevdir: Use the short version $(get_udevdir) instead!
get_udevdir: Output the path for the udev directory (not including ${D}). This function always succeeds, even if udev is not installed. The fallback value is set to /lib/udev
udev_dorules rules [...]: Install udev rule(s). Uses doins, thus it is fatal in EAPI 4 and non-fatal in earlier EAPIs.
udev_newrules oldname newname: Install udev rule with a new name. Uses newins, thus it is fatal in EAPI 4 and non-fatal in earlier EAPIs.
udev_reload: Run udevadm control --reload to refresh rules and databases
