SD-DEVICE(3)                       sd-device                      SD-DEVICE(3)

NAME
       sd-device - API for enumerating and introspecting local devices

SYNOPSIS
       #include <systemd/sd-device.h>

       pkg-config --cflags --libs libsystemd

DESCRIPTION
       sd-device.h is part of libsystemd(3) and provides an API to introspect
       and enumerate devices on the local system. It provides a programmatic
       interface to the database of devices and their properties mananaged by
       systemd-udevd.service(8). This API is a replacement for libudev(3) and
       libudev.h.

       See

           sd_device_get_syspath(3),
           sd_device_ref(3)

       for more information about the functions available.

NOTES
       Functions described here are available as a shared library, which can
       be compiled against and linked to with the libsystemd pkg-config(1)
       file.

       The code described here uses getenv(3), which is declared to be not
       multi-thread-safe. This means that the code calling the functions
       described here must not call setenv(3) from a parallel thread. It is
       recommended to only do calls to setenv() from an early phase of the
       program when no other threads have been started.
