This topic documents the data format for Datomic datalog queries and rules. If you want to follow along at a REPL, most of the examples on this page work use the mbrainz-subset database and are in the Day of Datomic Cloud repository.

udev is targeted at Linux kernels 2.6 and beyond to provide a userspace solution for a dynamic /dev directory, with persistent device naming. The previous /dev implementation, devfs, is now deprecated, and udev is seen as the successor. udev vs devfs is a sensitive area of conversation - you should read this document before making comparisons.

Over the years, the things that you might use udev rules for has changed, as well as the flexibility of rules themselves. On a modern system, udev provides persistent naming for some device types out-of-the-box, eliminating the need for custom rules for those devices. However, some users will still require the extra level of customisation.

This document assumes that you have udev installed and running OK with default configurations. This is usually handled by your Linux distribution.

This document does not cover every single detail of rule writing, but does aim to introduce all of the main concepts. The finer details can be found in the udev man page.

This document uses various examples (many of which are entirely fictional) to illustrate ideas and concepts. Not all syntax is explicitly described in the accompanying text, be sure to look at the example rules to get a complete understanding.

Multiple rules may be added based on the requirements. Adding a new rule should combine implementation, testing and documentation.
