Devil

Devil is a robust and efficient asynchronous wrapper for the libudev library provided by systemd. Designed to integrate seamlessly with the Tokio ecosystem, Devil simplifies the process of monitoring device changes on Linux systems.

Purpose

The primary goal of Devil is to offer a straightforward and reliable solution for tracking device events and changes in the system. By leveraging asynchronous programming, Devil ensures that your applications remain responsive while handling device monitoring tasks.

Key Users

Devil is already mainly utilized in the following projects:

• Colpetto: An asynchronous wrapper for libinput that internally relies on libudev through Devil for device event handling.

• Diretto: A wrapper for the Linux DRM (Direct Rendering Manager) interface, where Devil is employed to monitor devices capable of DRM.

Future Plans

Looking ahead, Devil aims to expand its capabilities by providing wrappers for the new sd-device interface introduced by systemd. While development is in progress, there is no fixed ETA for these updates.
