Struct udev::Device

pub struct Device { /* fields omitted */ }

A structure that provides access to sysfs/kernel devices.

Implementations

impl Device

pub fn from_syspath(syspath: &Path) -> Result<Self>

Creates a device for a given syspath.

The syspath parameter should be a path to the device file within the sysfs file system, e.g., /sys/devices/virtual/tty/tty0.

pub fn from_syspath_with_context(udev: Udev, syspath: &Path) -> Result<Self>

Creates a device for a given syspath, using an existing Udev instance rather than creating one automatically.

The syspath parameter should be a path to the device file within the sysfs file system, e.g., /sys/devices/virtual/tty/tty0.

pub fn is_initialized(&self) -> bool

Checks whether the device has already been handled by udev.

When a new device is connected to the system, udev initializes the device by setting permissions, renaming network devices, and possibly other initialization routines. This method returns true if udev has performed all of its work to initialize this device.

This method only applies to devices with device nodes or network interfaces. All other devices return true by default.

pub fn devnum(&self) -> Option<dev_t>

Gets the device’s major/minor number.

pub fn syspath(&self) -> &Path

Returns the syspath of the device.

The path is an absolute path and includes the sys mount point. For example, the syspath for tty0 could be /sys/devices/virtual/tty/tty0, which includes the sys mount point, /sys.

pub fn devpath(&self) -> &OsStr

Returns the kernel devpath value of the device.

The path does not contain the sys mount point, but does start with a /. For example, the devpath for tty0 could be /devices/virtual/tty/tty0.

pub fn devnode(&self) -> Option<&Path>

Returns the path to the device node belonging to the device.

The path is an absolute path and starts with the device directory. For example, the device node for tty0 could be /dev/tty0.

pub fn parent(&self) -> Option<Self>

Returns the parent of the device.

pub fn parent_with_subsystem<T: AsRef<OsStr>>(
    &self,
    subsystem: T
) -> Result<Option<Self>>

Returns the parent of the device with the matching subsystem and devtype if any.

pub fn parent_with_subsystem_devtype<T: AsRef<OsStr>, U: AsRef<OsStr>>(
    &self,
    subsystem: T,
    devtype: U
) -> Result<Option<Self>>

Returns the parent of the device with the matching subsystem and devtype if any.

pub fn subsystem(&self) -> Option<&OsStr>

Returns the subsystem name of the device.

The subsystem name is a string that indicates which kernel subsystem the device belongs to. Examples of subsystem names are tty, vtconsole, block, scsi, and net.

pub fn sysname(&self) -> &OsStr

Returns the kernel device name for the device.

The sysname is a string that differentiates the device from others in the same subsystem. For example, tty0 is the sysname for a TTY device that differentiates it from others, such as tty1.

pub fn sysnum(&self) -> Option<usize>

Returns the instance number of the device.

The instance number is used to differentiate many devices of the same type. For example, /dev/tty0 and /dev/tty1 are both TTY devices but have instance numbers of 0 and 1, respectively.

Some devices don’t have instance numbers, such as /dev/console, in which case the method returns None.

pub fn devtype(&self) -> Option<&OsStr>

Returns the devtype name of the device.

pub fn driver(&self) -> Option<&OsStr>

Returns the name of the kernel driver attached to the device.

pub fn property_value<T: AsRef<OsStr>>(&self, property: T) -> Option<&OsStr>

Retreives the value of a device property.

pub fn attribute_value<T: AsRef<OsStr>>(&self, attribute: T) -> Option<&OsStr>

Retreives the value of a device attribute.

pub fn set_attribute_value<T: AsRef<OsStr>, U: AsRef<OsStr>>(
    &mut self,
    attribute: T,
    value: U
) -> Result<()>

Sets the value of a device attribute.

pub fn properties(&self) -> Properties<'_>

Returns an iterator over the device’s properties.

Example

This example prints out all of a device’s properties:

for property in device.properties() {
    println!("{:?} = {:?}", property.name(), property.value());
}

pub fn attributes(&self) -> Attributes<'_>

Returns an iterator over the device’s attributes.

Example

This example prints out all of a device’s attributes:

for attribute in device.attributes() {
    println!("{:?} = {:?}", attribute.name(), attribute.value());
}

Trait Implementations

impl AsRawWithContext<udev_device> for Device

fn as_raw(&self) -> *mut udev_device

Get a reference of the underlying struct.

fn udev(&self) -> &Udev

The udev context with which this struct was created. This must live at least as long as the struct itself or undefined behavior will result.

fn into_raw_with_context(self) -> (*mut udev, *mut udev_device)

Convert the object into the raw udev pointer and the underlying pointer for this object.

impl Clone for Device

fn clone(&self) -> Self

Returns a copy of the value.

pub fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Drop for Device

fn drop(&mut self)

Executes the destructor for this type.

impl FromRawWithContext<udev_device> for Device

unsafe fn from_raw_with_context(udev: *mut udev, t: *mut udev_device) -> Self

Create an object from a given raw pointer and udev context pointer.
