i can trivially create misc character devices, and i know special device files for them will automatically show up under /dev, but what is the precise udev event/rule that comes into play for this?
There isn't one.
Gee, this is going to be easy :)
don't get smug. :-) i had sort of concluded there was no actual udev rule i could point at, so it's just the case that udev processes those events internally? is this written down anywhere? everyone happily explains how misc devices get their /dev file automatically, but no one i've seen goes that extra step to explain how that happens. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
