+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><function>udev_new()</function> allocates a new udev context
+ object and returns a pointer to it. This object is opaque and must
+ not be accessed by the caller via different means than functions
+ provided by libudev. Initially, the reference count of the context
+ is 1. You can acquire further references, and drop gained references
+ via <function>udev_ref()</function> and
+ <function>udev_unref()</function>. Once the reference count hits 0,
+ the context object is destroyed and freed.</para>

+ <title>Return Value</title>
+
+ <para>On success, <function>udev_new()</function> returns a pointer
+ to the allocated udev context. On failure, <constant>NULL</constant>
+ is returned. <function>udev_ref()</function> returns the argument
+ that it was passed, unmodified. <function>udev_unref()</function>
+ always returns <constant>NULL</constant>.</para>
