Return the devices on the subtree of one given device. The parent itself is included in the list.

A reference for the device is held until the udev_enumerate context is cleaned up.

Returns : | 0 on success, otherwise a negative error value.

### udev_enumerate_add_match_is_initialized ()

Match only devices which udev has set up already. This makes sure, that the device node permissions and context are properly set and that network devices are fully renamed.

Usually, devices which are found in the kernel but not already handled by udev, have still pending events. Services should subscribe to monitor events and wait for these devices to become ready, instead of using uninitialized devices.

For now, this will not affect devices which do not have a device node and are not network interfaces.

`udev_enumerate` : | context
Returns : | 0 on success, otherwise a negative error value.

### udev_enumerate_add_match_sysname ()

`udev_enumerate` : | context
`sysname` : | filter for the name of the device to include in the list
Returns : | 0 on success, otherwise a negative error value.

### udev_enumerate_add_syspath ()

    int                 udev_enumerate_add_syspath          (struct udev_enumerate *udev_enumerate,
                                                             const char *syspath);

Add a device to the list of devices, to retrieve it back sorted in dependency order.

`udev_enumerate` : | context
`syspath` : | path of a device
Returns : | 0 on success, otherwise a negative error value.

### udev_enumerate_scan_devices ()

    int                 udev_enumerate_scan_devices         (struct udev_enumerate *udev_enumerate);

`udev_enumerate` : | udev enumeration context
Returns : | 0 on success, otherwise a negative error value.

### udev_enumerate_scan_subsystems ()

    int                 udev_enumerate_scan_subsystems      (struct udev_enumerate *udev_enumerate);

`udev_enumerate` : | udev enumeration context
Returns : | 0 on success, otherwise a negative error value.

### udev_enumerate_get_list_entry ()

    struct udev_list_entry * udev_enumerate_get_list_entry  (struct udev_enumerate *udev_enumerate);

`udev_enumerate` : | context
Returns : | the first entry of the sorted list of device paths.
