As per the title, I would like to know the elaboration.

After googling, found that 'uevent' stands "userspace event".

Is this correct?

Thanks.

  • It is a *netlink message*. See [uevent sent from kernel to user space (udev)](http://stackoverflow.com/a/22813783/1983854). – fedorqui Apr 25 '16 at 07:52
  • From context I would agree. ["uevent is just string of some special format that is sent via netlink socket"](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22803469/uevent-sent-from-kernel-to-user-space-udev) – WilliamComputerScience Apr 25 '16 at 07:57

    he didnt ask what it is though, he asked what the acronyms mean. – Sir. Hedgehog Apr 25 '16 at 14:17
  • @hedgehog: you are right. I was reading about "ueventd" of android and found that the name is little bit strange. In fact I want to learn about "ueventd" and looking for some good reference. Thanks. – gsmaker Apr 25 '16 at 14:39
  • i suppose what the guys provided you is sufficient for you, or you need sth more? – Sir. Hedgehog Apr 25 '16 at 14:45
  • @hedgehog: Okay, let me check those in details and will be back if needed more. – gsmaker Apr 25 '16 at 14:47

Thats correct it stands for User Space Event, but you are so off topic for stackoverflow... :)
