man: SYMLINK can be matched as well as assigned
If by-path / by-id links don't quite do what you want, this is a nice
clean way to extend the behaviour. Real example:
SYMLINK=="serial/by-id/usb-Novatel_Wireless_Inc*CDMA*-if00-port0", \\
SYMLINK+="cellcard"
Some users ask how to do things like this.
- create an additional link with a shorter name
- create a link which matches more loosely
(omit certain path segments e.g. serial numbers)
- change permissions on certain USB device nodes
Allow them to realize this without reading the friendly *.c files.
