+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+libudev\&.h
+provides an API to introspect and enumerate devices on the local system\&. This library is supported, but should not be used in new projects\&. Please see
+\fBsd-device\fR(3)
+for an equivalent replacement with a more modern API\&.
+.PP
+All functions require a libudev context to operate\&. This context can be created via
+\fBudev_new\fR(3)\&. It is used to track library state and link objects together\&. No global state is used by libudev, everything is always linked to a udev context\&.
+.PP
+All functions listed here are thread\-agnostic and only a single specific thread may operate on a given object during its entire lifetime\&. It\*(Aqs safe to allocate multiple independent objects and use each from a specific thread in parallel\&. However, it\*(Aqs not safe to allocate such an object in one thread, and operate or free it from any other, even if locking is used to ensure these threads don\*(Aqt operate on it at the very same time\&.
+.PP
+The code described here uses
+\fBgetenv\fR(3), which is declared to be not multi\-thread\-safe\&. This means that the code calling the functions described here must not call
+\fBsetenv\fR(3)
+from a parallel thread\&. It is recommended to only do calls to
+\fBsetenv()\fR
+from an early phase of the program when no other threads have been started\&.
+.PP
+To introspect a local device on a system, a udev device object can be created via
+\fBudev_device_new_from_syspath\fR(3)
+and friends\&. The device object allows one to query current state, read and write attributes and lookup properties of the device in question\&.
+.PP
+To enumerate local devices on the system, an enumeration object can be created via
+\fBudev_enumerate_new\fR(3)\&.
+.PP
+To monitor the local system for hotplugged or unplugged devices, a monitor can be created via
+\fBudev_monitor_new_from_netlink\fR(3)\&.
+.PP
+Whenever libudev returns a list of objects, the
+\fBudev_list_entry\fR(3)
+API should be used to iterate, access and modify those lists\&.
+.PP
+Furthermore, libudev also exports legacy APIs that should not be used by new software (and as such are not documented as part of this manual)\&. This includes the hardware database known as
+\fBudev_hwdb\fR
+(please use the new
+\fBsd-hwdb\fR(3)
+API instead) and the
+\fBudev_queue\fR
+object to query the udev daemon (which should not be used by new software at all)\&.
