Basic rundown of udev?

[John Moser]

I'm currently reading through umm... udevd.c for udev-141.  Trying to
figure out how this thing works.

Anyone care to give me a brief map?  It would help.  I'm just trying
to figure out how udev talks to the kernel-- i.e. what facilities
would I have to implement to re-implement the kernel side of udev,
let's say if I was to run udevd as-is on Darwin or NetBSD or
something.  How does it talk to the kernel?  And if you know off the
top of your head, which source files (and functions?) am I looking at
here?
