.SH "NAME"
udev_new, udev_ref, udev_unref \- Create, acquire and release a udev context object
.SH "SYNOPSIS"

#include <libudev\&.h>
.fi
.ft
.HP \w'struct\ udev\ *udev_new('u
.BI "struct udev *udev_new(" "void" ");"

.HP \w'struct\ udev\ *udev_unref('u
.BI "struct udev *udev_unref(struct\ udev\ *" "udev" ");"
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBudev_new()\fR
allocates a new udev context object and returns a pointer to it\&. This object is opaque and must not be accessed by the caller via different means than functions provided by libudev\&. Initially, the reference count of the context is 1\&. You can acquire further references, and drop gained references via
\fBudev_ref()\fR
and
\fBudev_unref()\fR\&. Once the reference count hits 0, the context object is destroyed and freed\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
On success,
\fBudev_new()\fR
returns a pointer to the allocated udev context\&. On failure,
\fBNULL\fR
is returned\&.
\fBudev_ref()\fR
returns the argument that it was passed, unmodified\&.
\fBudev_unref()\fR
always returns
\fBNULL\fR\&.
