Author: jhb Date: Tue May 17 19:34:07 2016 New Revision: 300073 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/300073 Log: Document the formatting requirements of location and pnpinfo strings. devd requires location and pnpinfo strings generated by bus drivers to be formatted as a list of name=value keypairs. Non-conforming bus drivers cause devd to mis-parse device events for these buses. Note that this documents the desired requirements. devctl_safe_quote() doesn't yet escape backslash characters, and devd doesn't handle escaped characters in quoted values.
