Mdevd

mdevd - a mdev-compatible hotplug manager daemon

mdevd is a daemon managing kernel hotplug events, similarly to udevd. It uses the same configuration file as mdev, which is a hotplug manager integrated in the Busybox suite of tools. However, mdev needs to be registered as a hotplug manager and the kernel forks an instance of mdev for every event; by contrast, mdevd is a daemon listening to the netlink, and does not fork.
