.Sh NAME
.Nm hotplugd
.Nd devices hot plugging monitor daemon
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm hotplugd
.Op Fl d Ar device
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
daemon monitors the
.Xr hotplug 4
pseudo-device, acting on signaled events by executing the scripts in the
.Pa /etc/hotplug
directory.
By default it uses the
.Pa /dev/hotplug
device for reading events from, but an alternative device can be
specified with the
.Fl d
option.
Actions can be configured either for device attachment or detachment.
On device attachment the
.Pa attach
script is executed if it exists.
On device detachment the
.Pa detach
script is executed if it exists.
In both cases two parameters are passed to the scripts: the class and name
of the attached or detached device.
Device class corresponds to the classes described in the
.Aq Pa sys/device.h
header file and can be one of the following:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It 0
generic, no special info
.It 1
CPU (carries resource utilization)
.It 2
disk drive
.It 3
network interface
.It 4
tape device
.It 5
serial line interface
.El
.Pp
Not all classes can be really usable, e.g. it's unlikely to have
a hot plug CPU.
.Pp
Device name is a usual name including unit number, e.g.\&
.Pa sd1 .
.Sh FILES
.Bl -tag -width "/dev/hotplug/attach" -compact
.It /dev/hotplug
Pseudo-device file.
.It /etc/hotplug
Directory where the scripts to execute are located.
.It /etc/hotplug/attach
Script to execute on device attachment.
.It /etc/hotplug/detach
Script to execute on device detachment.
.El
.Sh EXAMPLES
Sample
.Pa attach
script:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
#!/bin/sh
DEVCLASS=$1
DEVNAME=$2
case $DEVCLASS in
2)
# disk devices
disklabel=`/sbin/disklabel $DEVNAME | grep '^label:' | \e
sed -e 's/^label: //'`
case $disklabel in
Sony*DSC*)
# Sony DSC camera
mount /dev/"$DEVNAME"i /mnt/camera
;;

3)
# network devices
