Listen for harware change events from linux or udev kernel

Question

I need to run some code to install and unmount a storage device.
How can I listen to these events on Linux?

• I was thinking of adding udev rules to run some script (any know-how in this matter is welcome)
• But I would rather listen to events from the kernel in some kind of network socket with my daemon (like udev) or something like that.

Answer 1

You can use libudev or a more convenient, smooth gudev to track udev events in C.

Answer 2

uevent. .
