It  isn’t.  The syntax is very good at preliminary parsing. I would like
to have some utility that will just evaluate the mdev.conf  syntax  upon
other  config  files.  For example some /etc/usb.conf could be similiar,
just evaluating the PRODUCT variable given by the  kernel.  The  scripts
run  there  inside will still have all variables for further evaluation.

The mdev.conf syntax should concentrate on what’s important  and  that’s
the device name.

In  [0] you can see the scripts I use to replace udev on my desktop sys‐
tem.


Sincerely,
