LUASTATUS-PLUGIN-UDEV(7)

💖 NAME 💖

luastatus-plugin-udev — the udev plugin for luastatus. This page is from the Miscellaneous Information Manual, and it's literally here to make udev events make sense, bestie 🫶.

🌸 OVERVIEW 🌸

Okay so the whole vibe: this plugin monitors udev events. That's the main character move — it keeps an eye on udev events for you, no cap 👀✨.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

The following options are supported:

• subsystem (string) — the subsystem to monitor events from. Optional.
• devtype (string) — only report events with this device type. Optional.
• tag (string) — only report events with this tag. Optional.
• kernel_events (boolean) — monitor kernel uevents, not udev ones. Defaults to false.
• greet (boolean) — whether or not to call cb with what="hello" as soon as the widget starts. Defaults to false.
• timeout (number) — if specified and not negative, this plugin calls cb with what="timeout" if no event has occurred in timeout seconds.

🦋 cb argument 🦋

A table with a what entry:

• if it is "hello", the function is being called for the first time (only if the greet option was set to true);
• if it is "timeout", the function has not been called for the number of seconds specified as the timeout option;
• if it is "event", a udev event has occurred; in this case, the table has the following additional entries (all are optional strings):
  • syspath;
  • sysname;
  • sysnum;
  • devpath;
  • devnode;
  • devtype;
  • subsystem;
  • driver;
  • action.

🧚 FUNCTIONS 🧚

The following functions are provided:

• luastatus.plugin.push_timeout(seconds) — changes the timeout for one iteration.

👑 COPYRIGHT 👑

LGPLv3, obviously. Periodt 💅.
