# net-device-added(7)

Bridge between Upstart and udev

Part of [upstart-udev-bridge(8)](/upstart-udev-bridge/8.md).

## NAME

upstart-udev-bridge - Bridge between Upstart and udev

## SYNOPSIS

**upstart-udev-bridge** \[*OPTIONS*\]...

## DESCRIPTION

**upstart-udev-bridge** receives information about kernel uevents that [**udev**(8)](/udev/8.md) has completed and creates [**init**(8)](/init/8.md) events for them.

It emits events which match the pattern "*S*-device-*A*" where 'S' is the udev *subsystem* and 'A' is one of *added*, *changed* or *removed*, which correspond to the past tense of the udev 'action'.

See [**udev**(7)](/udev/7.md) and for further details.

Assuming */sys* is mounted, possible values for *subsystem* for your system are viewable via */sys/class/*.

## OPTIONS

- **--daemon**

  Detach and run in the background.

- **--debug**

  Enable debugging output.

- **--help**

  Show brief usage summary.

- **--no-strip**

  Do not modify udev message contents. By default, all udev data will have non-printable bytes removed. This option reverts the behaviour to not modifying the data in any way. This option is not recommended since specifying it *could* result in [**udev**(7)](/udev/7.md) events not being emitted as Upstart events should any of your hardware expose non-printable characters to the kernel. You can establish whether this is happening by running *without* specifying this option but with the  **--debug** option.

- **--verbose**

  Enable verbose output.

## EXAMPLES

Some examples of Upstart events generated by this bridge:

- net-device-added

  Event emitted when a network device is added.

- net-device-removed

  Event emitted when a network device is removed.

- graphics-card-added

  Event emitted when a graphics device is available to the system.
