Over the years, the things that you might use udev rules for has changed, as well as the flexibility of rules themselves. This document assumes that you have udev installed and running OK with default configurations. This document does not cover every single detail of rule writing, but does aim to introduce all of the main concepts. This document uses various examples (many of which are entirely fictional) to illustrate ideas and concepts.
