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
}

pkg_postinst() {
        udev_reload
}

pkg_postrm() {
        udev_reload
}

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 <rule> [...]: Install udev rule(s). Uses doins, thus it is fatal.
udev_newrules <oldname> <newname>: Install udev rule with a new name. Uses newins, thus it is fatal.
udev_reload: Run "udevadm control --reload" to refresh rules and databases. Should be called from pkg_postinst and pkg_postrm in packages which install udev rules or hwdb data.
