      expects its main configuration file at
      <filename>/etc/udev/udev.conf</filename>. It consists of a set
      of variables allowing the user to override default udev
      values. All empty lines or lines beginning with '#' are
      ignored. The following variables can be set:
    </para>

    <variablelist class='config-directives'>
      <varlistentry>
        <term><varname>udev_log=</varname></term>

        <listitem>
          <para>The log level. Valid values are the numerical
          syslog priorities or their textual representations:
          <option>err</option>, <option>info</option> and
          <option>debug</option>.</para>

      <varlistentry>
        <term><varname>children_max=</varname></term>

        <listitem>
          <para>An integer. The maximum number of events executed in parallel. When unspecified or 0 is
          specified, the maximum is determined based on the system resources.</para>

          <para>This is the same as the <option>--children-max=</option> option.</para>

          <xi:include href="version-info.xml" xpointer="v240"/>

          <para>An integer. Delay the execution of each <varname>RUN{<replaceable>program</replaceable>}</varname>
          parameter by the given number of seconds. This option
          might be useful when debugging system crashes during

          modules.</para>

      <varlistentry>
        <term><varname>event_timeout=</varname></term>

        <listitem>
          <para>An integer. The number of seconds to wait for events to finish. After
          this time, the event will be terminated. The default is 180 seconds.</para>

          <para>This is the same as the <option>--event-timeout=</option> option.</para>

          <xi:include href="version-info.xml" xpointer="v240"/>

      <varlistentry>
        <term><varname>resolve_names=</varname></term>

        <listitem>
          <para>Specifies when systemd-udevd should resolve names of users and groups.  When set to
          <option>early</option> (the default), names will be resolved when the rules are parsed.
          When set to <option>late</option>, names will be resolved for every event.  When set to
          <option>never</option>, names will never be resolved and all devices will be owned by
          root.</para>

          <para>This is the same as the <option>--resolve-names=</option> option.</para>

      <varlistentry>
        <term><varname>timeout_signal=</varname></term>

        <listitem>
          <para>Specifies a signal that <filename>systemd-udevd</filename> will send on worker
          timeouts. Note that both workers and spawned processes will be killed using this
          signal. Defaults to <option>SIGKILL</option>.</para>

    <para>
      In addition, <filename>systemd-udevd</filename> can be configured
      by command line options and the kernel command line (see
