udev-dotnet

udev-dotnet are .NET bindings for libudev, the library for enumerating Linux devices and receiving hotplug events.

Usage

Enumerate devices:

using Udev;

using var udev = new UdevContext();
foreach (var device in udev.EnumerateDevices("block"))
{
    using (device)
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"{device.Devnode}: {device.GetPropertyValue("ID_MODEL")}");
    }
}

Watch for hotplug events:

using var monitor = udev.CreateMonitor();
monitor.FilterMatchSubsystemDevtype("usb");
monitor.EnableReceiving();

while (monitor.Wait(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1)))
{
    while (monitor.TryReceiveDevice() is { } device)
    {
        using (device)
        {
            Console.WriteLine($"{device.Action}: {device.Devnode ?? device.Syspath}");
        }
    }
}

monitor.Fd exposes the netlink socket for integration with your own poll loop.

Look up a single device and its metadata:

using var disk = udev.GetDeviceFromSubsystemSysname("block", "sda");
Console.WriteLine(string.Join('\n', disk.Devlinks));

using var controller = disk.GetParent("pci");
Console.WriteLine(controller?.GetSysattrValue("vendor"));

Testing

dotnet test
sudo chmod a+w /sys/class/mem/null/uevent   # optional: enables the monitor event test

Sample

samples/Udev.NET.Sample is a small udevadm-like tool:

dotnet run --project samples/Udev.NET.Sample -- list block
dotnet run --project samples/Udev.NET.Sample -- info /sys/class/mem/null
dotnet run --project samples/Udev.NET.Sample -- monitor usb

Regenerating the bindings

git submodule update --init
dotnet tool restore
sh eng/generate.sh

Requires a system clang for its builtin-header resource directory.
