+.PP
+\fBsystemd\-udevd\fR
+listens to kernel uevents\&. For every event, systemd\-udevd executes matching instructions specified in udev rules\&. See
+\fBudev\fR(7)\&.
+.PP
+The behavior of the daemon can be configured using
+\fBudev.conf\fR(5), its command line options, environment variables, and on the kernel command line, or changed dynamically with
+\fBudevadm control\fR\&.
+.SH "OPTIONS"

+.RE
+.PP
+\fB\-t\fR, \fB\-\-event\-timeout=\fR
+.RS 4

+.RE
+.PP
+\fB\-s\fR, \fB\-\-timeout\-signal=\fR
+.RS 4
+Set the signal which
+systemd\-udevd
+will send to forked off processes after reaching event timeout\&. The setting can be overridden at boot time with the kernel command line option
+\fIudev\&.timeout_signal=\fR\&. Setting to
+\fBSIGABRT\fR
+may be helpful in order to debug worker timeouts\&. Defaults to
+\fBSIGKILL\fR\&. Note that setting the option on the command line overrides the setting from the configuration file\&.
+.sp
+Added in version 246\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fB\-N\fR, \fB\-\-resolve\-names=\fR
+.RS 4
+Specify when systemd\-udevd should resolve names of users and groups\&. When set to
+\fBearly\fR
+(the default), names will be resolved when the rules are parsed\&. When set to
+\fBlate\fR, names will be resolved for every event\&. When set to
+\fBnever\fR, names will never be resolved and all devices will be owned by root\&.

+.SH "KERNEL COMMAND LINE"

+.RE
+.PP
+\fIudev\&.timeout_signal=\fR, \fIrd\&.udev\&.timeout_signal=\fR
+.RS 4
+Specifies a signal that
+systemd\-udevd

+.sp
+Added in version 246\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fIudev\&.blockdev_read_only\fR, \fIrd\&.udev\&.blockdev_read_only\fR
+.RS 4
+If specified, mark all physical block devices read\-only as they appear\&. Synthetic block devices (such as loopback block devices or device mapper devices) are left as they are\&. This is useful to guarantee that the contents of physical block devices remains unmodified during runtime, for example to implement fully stateless systems, for testing or for recovery situations where corrupted file systems shall not be corrupted further through accidental modification\&.
+.sp
+A block device may be marked writable again by issuing the
+\fBblockdev \-\-setrw\fR
+command, see
+\fBblockdev\fR(8)
+for details\&.
+.sp
+Added in version 246\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fInet\&.ifnames=\fR
+.RS 4
+Network interfaces are renamed to give them predictable names when possible\&. It is enabled by default; specifying 0 disables it\&.
+.sp
+Added in version 199\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fInet\&.naming\-scheme=\fR
+.RS 4
+Network interfaces are renamed to give them predictable names when possible (unless
+\fInet\&.ifnames=0\fR
+is specified, see above)\&. With this kernel command line option it is possible to pick a specific version of this algorithm and override the default chosen at compilation time\&. Expects one of the naming scheme identifiers listed in
+\fBsystemd.net-naming-scheme\fR(7), or
+"latest"
+to select the latest scheme known (to this particular version of
+systemd\-udevd\&.service)\&.
+.sp
+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
+systemd\-udevd\&.service
+is checking might appear, which affects older name derivation algorithms, too\&.
+.sp
+Added in version 240\&.

+\fInet\&.ifname\-policy=\fR\fI\fIpolicy1\fR\fR\fI[,\fR\fI\fIpolicy2\fR\fR\fI,\&...][,\fR\fI\fIMAC\fR\fR\fI]\fR
+.RS 4
+Specifies naming policies applied when renaming network interfaces\&. Takes a list of policies and an optional MAC address separated with comma\&. Each policy value must be one of the policies understood by the
+\fINamePolicy=\fR
+setting in \&.link files, e\&.g\&.
+"onboard"
+or
+"path"\&. See
+\fBsystemd.link\fR(5)
+for more details\&. When the MAC address is specified, the policies are applied to the interface which has the address\&. When no MAC address is specified, the policies are applied to all interfaces\&. This kernel command line argument can be specified multiple times\&.
+.sp
+This argument is not directly read by
+\fBsystemd\-udevd\fR, but is instead converted to a \&.link file by
+\fBsystemd-network-generator.service\fR(8)\&. For this argument to take effect,
+systemd\-network\-generator\&.service
+must be enabled\&.
+.sp
