It is not +intended to be called by users, but rather by the Linux hotplug +system and similar facilities.</p><p>The action argument may be "add" or "remove". If no daemon +instance is running when an add is requested, this program will launch +one.</p><p>The "device" argument should be the pathname of a device. A +device on the list will be opened to read sensor data whenever a +client requests a watch.</p><p>Two environment variables are +interpreted. <code class="envar">GPSD_SOCKET</code> sets the location of the +control socket. It defaults to +<code class="filename">/var/run/gpsd.sock</code> if the effective user ID of +this program is root, <code class="filename">/tmp/gpsd.sock</code> +otherwise.</p><p><code class="envar">GPSD_OPTIONS</code> +may be a list of options to be passed to <span class="application">gpsd</span> +when this tool launches it.
