A :class:`Monitor` objects connects to the udev daemon and listens for
changes to the device list. A monitor is created by connecting to the
kernel daemon through netlink (see :meth:`from_netlink`).
Alternatively, connections to arbitrary daemons can be made using
:meth:`from_socket`, which is however only seldom of use.
Once the monitor is created, you can add a filter using :meth:`filter_by()`
or :meth:`filter_by_tag()` to drop incoming events in subsystems, which are
not of interest to the application.
If the monitor is eventually set up, you can either iterate over the
:class:`Monitor` object to synchronously receive events (see
:meth:`__iter__()`) or use a :class:`MonitorObserver` to asynchronously
react on events. Moreover the monitor provides a real file descriptor (see
:meth:`fileno()`), which is :func:`selectable <select.select>`, so you can
also plug the monitor into custom notification mechanisms. Do *not* read
or write on this file descriptor.
Instances of this class can directly be given as ``udev_monitor *`` to
functions wrapped through :mod:`ctypes`.
