A device manager is a program that manages device nodes in the /dev directory. It is responsible for things like hot-plugging usb devices.
Alpine linux has several device managers available:
- mdev (from busybox) is the default.
- mdevd is standalone, compatible with mdev, more efficient.
- eudev is the complex, full-featured one.
