Description: record/mock hardware devices for bug reports and regression tests
umockdev mocks hardware devices for creating unit tests for libraries and
programs that handle Linux hardware devices.
.
This package provides tools to record the properties and behaviour of
particular devices, and to run a program or test suite under a test bed with
the previously recorded devices loaded.
.
Right now this covers sysfs, uevents, basic support for /dev devices, and
recording/mocking usbdevfs ioctls (for PtP/MTP devices).
.
With this you can simulate particular hardware in virtual environments up to
some degree, without needing any particular privileges or disturbing the whole
system.
