- <para>A unit configuration file whose name ends in
- <literal>.device</literal> encodes information about
- a device unit as exposed in the
- sysfs/<citerefentry><refentrytitle>udev</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
- device tree.</para>
-
- <para>This unit type has no specific options. See
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
- for the common options of all unit configuration
- files. The common configuration items are configured
- in the generic <literal>[Unit]</literal> and
- <literal>[Install]</literal> sections. A separate
- <literal>[Device]</literal> section does not exist,
- since no device-specific options may be
- configured.</para>
-
- <para>systemd will dynamically create device units for
- all kernel devices that are marked with the "systemd"
- udev tag (by default all block and network devices,
- and a few others). This may be used to define
- dependencies between devices and other units. To tag a
- udev device, use <literal>TAG+="systemd"</literal> in
- the udev rules file, see
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>udev</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
- for details.</para>
-
- <para>Device units are named after the
- <filename>/sys</filename> and
- <filename>/dev</filename> paths they control. Example:
- the device <filename noindex='true'>/dev/sda5</filename> is exposed
- in systemd as <filename>dev-sda5.device</filename>. For
- details about the escaping logic used to convert a
- file system path to a unit name see

- <title>The udev Database</title>
-
- <para>The settings of device units may either be
- configured via unit files, or directly from the udev
- database (which is recommended). The following udev device
- properties are understood by systemd:</para>
-
- <variablelist class='udev-directives'>
- <varlistentry>
- <term><varname>SYSTEMD_WANTS=</varname></term>
- <term><varname>SYSTEMD_USER_WANTS=</varname></term>
- <listitem><para>Adds dependencies of
- type <varname>Wants</varname> from the
- device unit to all listed units. The
- first form is used by the system
- systemd instance, the second by user
- systemd instances. Those settings may
- be used to activate arbitrary units
- when a specific device becomes
- available.</para>
-
- <para>Note that this and the
- other tags are not taken into account
- unless the device is tagged with the
- <literal>systemd</literal> string in
- the udev database, because otherwise
- the device is not exposed as a systemd
- unit (see above).</para>
-
- <para>Note that systemd will only act
- on <varname>Wants</varname>
- dependencies when a device first
- becomes active. It will not act on
- them if they are added to devices that
- are already active. Use
- <varname>SYSTEMD_READY=</varname> (see
- below) to influence on which udev
- event to trigger the dependencies.
