DESCRIPTION         top

       These files contain configuration options for systemd-udevd(8).
       The syntax of these files is very simple: a list of assignments,
       one per line. All empty lines or lines beginning with "#" are
       ignored.

       The following options can be set:

       udev_log=
           The log level. Valid values are the numerical syslog
           priorities or their textual representations: err, info and
           debug.

               Note
               This option is also honored by udevadm(8).
           Added in version 216.

       children_max=
           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.

           This is the same as the --children-max= option.

           Added in version 240.

       exec_delay=
           An integer. Delay the execution of each RUN{program} parameter
           by the given number of seconds. This option might be useful
           when debugging system crashes during coldplug caused by
           loading non-working kernel modules.

           This is the same as the --exec-delay= option.

           Added in version 240.

       event_timeout=
           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.

           This is the same as the --event-timeout= option.

           Added in version 240.

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

           This is the same as the --resolve-names= option.

           Added in version 240.

       timeout_signal=
           Specifies a signal that systemd-udevd will send on worker
           timeouts. Note that both workers and spawned processes will be
           killed using this signal. Defaults to SIGKILL.

           Added in version 246.

       In addition, systemd-udevd can be configured by command line
       options and the kernel command line (see systemd-udevd(8)).
