| | | | | | | | | | | (and make it easier to find stuff for the old ones). I originally put everything under one "RULE SUBSYSTEM" so it didn't look like devfs(8) is dedicated to the rule subsystem, but since nobody has any idea what else might go here, it's not worth confusing people just to save a little time for someone that might add something rule-unrelated to devfs(8) in a few years.

* Introduce the DEVFS "rule" subsystem. DEVFS rules permit thedd2002-07-171-0/+326
administrator to define certain properties of new devfs nodes before they become visible to the userland. Both static (e.g., /dev/speaker) and dynamic (e.g., /dev/bpf*, some removable devices) nodes are supported. Each DEVFS mount may have a different ruleset assigned to it, permitting different policies to be implemented for things like jails. Approved by: phk
