+udevsend \- sends the event to udevd
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.B udevd
+allows the serialization of
+.BR hotplug (8)
+events. The events generated by the kernel may arrive in random order
+in userspace, that makes it neccessary to reorder it.
+.br
+.B udevd
+takes care of the kernel supplied sequence number and arranges the events for
+execution in the correct order. Missing sequences are delaying the
+execution of the following events until a timeout of a maximum of 5 seconds
+is reached.
+.br
+For each event a
+.BR udev (8)
+instance is executed in the background. All further events for the same device
+are delayed until the execution is finished. This way it will never run more
+than one instance for a single device.
+.br
+.B udevd
+receives the events from
+.B udevsend
+which is called by
+.BR hotplug (8)
+
+.SH "SEE ALSO"
+.BR udev (8)
+.SH AUTHORS
+.B udevd
+was developed primarily by Kay Sievers <[email protected]>, with much help
+from others.

Nice, maybe at OLS this year?
I'll see, if I can manage it to come.

I'm looking forward...

Oh, what's about the true random device number allocation? Not really new, but udev fits nice here :)

Or what happened to the parallel device probing thing?

Both of those are things I'm going to do for 2.7.

I guess I can write a paper on something that I haven't implemented yet, as I did that last year :)

I'll come up with something, I still have a few weeks...

thanks,
