<para><command>systemd-udevd</command> listens to kernel uevents.
For every event, systemd-udevd executes matching instructions
specified in udev rules. See <citerefentry>

</citerefentry>.</para>
<para>The behavior of the daemon can be configured using

its command line options, environment variables, and on the kernel
command line, or changed dynamically with <command>udevadm
control</command>.

<listitem>
<para>Network interfaces are renamed to give them predictable names when possible (unless
<varname>net.ifnames=0</varname> is specified, see above). The names are derived from various
device metadata fields. Newer versions of <filename>systemd-udevd.service</filename> take more of
these fields into account, improving (and thus possibly changing) the names used for the same
devices. With this kernel command line option it is possible to pick a specific version of this
algorithm. It expects a naming scheme identifier as argument. Currently the following identifiers
are known: <literal>v238</literal>, <literal>v239</literal>, <literal>v240</literal> which each
implement the naming scheme that was the default in the indicated systemd version. In addition,
<literal>latest</literal> may be used to designate the latest scheme known (to this particular
version of <filename>systemd-udevd.service</filename>).</para>
<para>Note that selecting a specific scheme is not sufficient to fully stabilize interface naming:
the naming is generally derived from driver attributes exposed by the kernel. As the kernel is
updated, previously missing attributes <filename>systemd-udevd.service</filename> is checking might
appear, which affects older name derivation algorithms, too.</para>
