Summary: udev - an userspace implementation of devfs

Description: 

Starting with the 2.5 kernel, all physical and virtual devices in a
system are visible to userspace in a hierarchal fashion through
sysfs. /sbin/hotplug provides a notification to userspace when any
device is added or removed from the system. Using these two features,
a userspace implementation of a dynamic /dev is now possible that can
provide a very flexible device naming policy.
