           23 .Nm
           24 is a simple netlink device manager. It does this by emulating
           25 the behaviour of the hotplug system built into the Linux kernel.
           26 The defaults are meant to fit to the mdev applet included in
           27 busybox.

           42 .
           43 .It Fl f Ar subsystem
           44 This option will filter for the subsystem key in a netlink message
           45 and compare it to the subsystem string. On success runpath helper
           46 will be run.

           56 Only show netlink messages from libudev.
           57 .
           58 .It Fl r Ar runpath
           59 This option specifies the runpath for the helper that is launched
           60 on every received netlink event (default: /bin/mdev).
           61 .El
           62 
           63 If neither subsystem nor runpath is specified, uevents are processed
           64 based on compiled-in config.
